my web dream part 1 Friday, March 07 2008
classic OS is dead
We have been seeing lot of innovation in recent days Especially in the web side. I like to see some innovation in PC world. It is my dream for more than 10 years. I DO NOT want OS in my computer. So what I would want it? I want a bootstrap loader and a browser. That’s all.
I don’t want hard disk, I don’t want mouse/touch pad, I don’t want cd/dvd drive, I don’t want to double click, I don’t want to boot in safe mode (who want technical boot?). I like keyboard, touch screen. I want solid state drives, I want to speak with my PC. I want to boot to check my emails, see movies, play my games in less than 5 seconds. In other perspective, I want to boot for web, I like to see my browser in less than 5 seconds, I want to chat, search, and check emails. I want Plug-ins for almost every web 2.0/semantic applications.
modern OS:
in the past - OS means to manage devices/drivers, memory etc. but modern perspective of OS is to manage back up drive, manage my local cache (home server or wotever), manage my home electronics, manage my home/office security, or any other heavy burning activity.
portability:
my long term wish is that….I want to move my data (text, audio, video, and other digital content I store in PC and cloud) from servers to servers to pc to mobile to friends machine to office machine to remote machines to to to to anywhere I want with a click of a mouse. The data may be anything, may be my blog post, comment, forum post, email, chat, tag, profile, etc. Porting my data is the first step but I love to have 100% control on my data. (to delete, modify, monitor etc).
software license:
I hate software license, “Host it - don’t’ ship it” or “stream it - don’t ship it” I don’t want to pay each software that I buy. I want to have utility model. I pay monthly $100. Give me Phone, Cloud services, TV, etc etc.
identity:
I don’t want 100+ online id’s, I don’t want SSN, I don’t want credit card numbers, I don’t want driver license, I don't want real ID, I don’t want phone numbers, But I want an URL. I want URL for each and everything. I want to authorize by click/touch.
