Windows, Linux 25 Year Old "Clunkers"? 461
Phil817 writes to tell us that Bob Metcalfe recently gave a TV interview in which he stated that current operating systems (Windows and Linux) are outdated clunkers that wont be able to adequately handle the coming of "video internet" and suggests that new operating systems need to be developed to take hold in a few years. Also, when asked if current deals in the works like eBay's purchase of Skype were an indication of more investment hype he replied with "I'm looking forward to the next Internet bubble. I don't know what everyone's so negative about. The last bubble was lots of fun.". Let us at least hope we learned a few things from the last bubble.

See?!?! You made me make God kill a kitten just now by talking about video interne... damn!
And you know what? By the time this thread is done with, tens of thousands of kittens will have died. How many at the hands of "In Soviet Russia" jokes alone, I do not know, but I shudder to think.
Frankly, I am saddend at the massive loss of furry lifeforms about to take place, all for the sake of a mental circlejerk about "all porn all the time all online". You're all just sick.

*: AmigaOS had this capability from day one, but a lack of advertising means I'm unaware of this fact.

My future-viewing terminal informs me that that the Video Internet will be deployed just a few years after the widespread availablility of wall-mounted Video Telephones, but just before Honda release their premiere Flying Automobile.
I can only hope that our spinlock model is flexible enough for these paradigm-shattering technological earthquakes!

Maybe the interview is available for download in a few years when the new video oriented operating systems he mentions have taken hold.

That's because you're using a clunker operating system.

A multi-phase strategic alliance would be required to address the market maximization retail potential of Generation D. And the syngergistic coherent intranet with fundamental well-modulated flexibility in a team-oriented client-server model paradigm functionality would be negatively combined with the polarised holistic flexibility contained within the progressive even-keeled structure.

Finally, I woke up this morning, mysteriously transported to the year 2016. Does this mean I can start wearing my jeans inside out? Or was that so last year?
