If you think any of this gibberish looks interesting, you should poke around and subscribe to my RSS feed to keep up with new content.

I don’t remember if I actually made a blog post about it or just thought about it (can’t find the post), but a few years ago I wondered if computer makers were likely to start selling computers on a cell-phone plan model.

In other words, a company like HP should partner with a company like AT&T, subsidize a computer (say, a compute for $150) and make the end user sign a contract for $60/month for a built in always-on high-speed connection to the internet.

Looks like they’re doing it now.
