The PC is dying
There is panic in the air: the PC industry as we have known it is beginning to die. PCs are becoming commodity items. The price of PCs and laptops is falling by about 50% per decade in real terms, despite performance simultaneously rising in real terms. The profit margin on a typical netbook or desktop PC is under 10%. The PC revolution has saturated the market. Anyone who needs and can afford a PC has now got one.

At the same time, wireless broadband is coming. Software will be delivered as a service to users wherever they are, via whatever device they are looking at -- their phone, laptop, tablet, the TV. You will not have home broadband; you will just have data on demand wherever you are. You will not have a "computer," but be surrounded by devices that give you access to your data whenever and however you need it.

"Sterile world of sealed aluminium"

In mobile land, closed carrier heritage combined with Apple's product vectors may leave us with only closed options. A confluence of interests -- commercial (get your non-pirated content only from me!), governmental (cyber defense!), and user (I want to be safe!) -- will find that outcome attractive. Our generative and hacker-friendly world will be replaced by a sterile world of sealed aluminum.

Apple now owns and controls their own mobile CPUs. From what I saw, Apple does not just own and control a mobile CPU, they own and control the hands-down best mobile CPU in the world. [...] They are Microsoft and Intel rolled into one when it comes to mobile computing. [...] They are taking over as the strongest and best company in the whole ones-and-zeroes racket.
