It's All the Same Thing
In reading an only-so-thrilling article about John Lilly's promotion, I caught a few important words. They weren't even terribly relevant to the story, but they made it in there just the same...
"...will be responsible for leading the Firefox developer's ambitious plans to dramatically extend the reach of its Web-based applications into the mobile and services arenas."
So FireFox is coming to a phone near you, while Apple TV (and other devices) brought the computer to your television. Two years ago (heck, maybe more now), Microsoft told attendees at a conference that this day was coming - when your phone, your computer, and your television would be virtually the same device just with different size screens (I'm paraphrasing). That is, there wouldn't be a large variation on what you can do and see on any one device. Of course you'll still watch movies on TV - but the beauty of that is you can pause the playback and go start the next one downloading, right from your couch. Just a little longer, and you'll be able to use your phone to browse the channel guide that's on the internet, then remote pilot your DVR to record a show you find - despite being nowhere near the TV.
Are you ready to be everywhere all the time?
