Saturday night's alright for comments

Some observations on a Saturday night:
  • The user interface that Comcast provides for its TV service is still vastly inferior to almost any web interface. Now that they are trying to create their own web presence will their TV UI improve?
  • Will the idea of a home phone go away as we use our mobile phones more and more?
  • As projectors continue to get smaller and smaller, will they get assimilated into computers or even mobile devices?
  • The form factor and battery life of netbooks is so appealing, but the small keyboard, lack of processing power and low video resolution just doesn't seem worth the trade-off. Someone needs to combine the netbook form factor with better processing capabilities.
  • How can the mobile carriers continue to charge extra for texting when it costs them next to nothing to provide the service?
  • Is it just me or is the threaded message view in Facebook (and Yammer) a really effective way to communicate?
  • Why are people still using Internet Explorer 6 when there are so many better alternatives out there?
  • There are so many ways for companies to lose data from the inside with all of the web based file sharing, nothing is safe, so we all need to deal with it.
  • User expectations on the consumer side of the application world continue to filter to the corporate world. Companies that ignore this trend do so at their own peril.
  • Will Facebook's closed world survive any better then those that preceded it (and failed)?
Finally, will bloggers who sit around on a Saturday night asking questions get more readers by asking these questions? This is one question that I hope is answered affirmatively :)
