I am definitely behind this concept. Anything to help improve AT&T's network strength. Certainly could use it at work if my work allowed me to hook it up.

Now this seems like a nice idea. Not sure I would be willing to give a stranger a ride though. I would have to overcome some fears first. After all, couldn't criminals use this to find get-away vehicles?

I can not wait until Google Wave becomes a part of Google Apps. Also can not wait until Google Buzz does the same thing but for different reasons.

The yamaha mg166cx sound board is a good sound board for a small to medium folk music venue. Since my church started using this sound board for various events, it has been well received.

GDC: OnLive Takes Gaming To The Cloud -- InformationWeek

GDC: OnLive Takes Gaming To The Cloud -- InformationWeek

I could easily get behind this although I am curious about the pricing of the games. I do not want to re-register until I know the costs of the games I might play. I would also look forward to the console for my TV although I could hook my PC up to the TV to viewing.

What are your thoughts about OnLine

iPad?

I posted on Google Buzz a question asking who will likely buy the iPad. So far it would seem not many people on buzz seem impressed with the iPad.

I also just read an article about the HP Slate that will be coming out later this year (supposedly) and how having Adobe Flash will be a "Killer App" that will differentiate the HP Slate from the iPad. After reading the article, I doubt I will go through the trouble of buying a iPad. Although access to all the Apps in the Apple App Store is a positive thing.

I could easily get behind this idea of Google TV. It might work better than my current digital tv box I use for cable.

This is a good incentive to get a Nexus One or a Droid when I upgrade or replace my cell phone this year. Although I have not yet decided if I will go this route. I do love my iPhone after all.
