Thus, buying "UniSpace" would just be like buying a VPS; when yet it's much easier to just buy a computer, download Apache, and away you go.  | |

internet is a medium, mediums die out, servers will die.
I'm just throwing the name UniServer for my UNI idea.
I will write up an entire idea tomorrow | |

pmmsn | | Re: What search engine do you use? (10th Jan 08 at 6:28am UTC) | | I don't think the internet is going to die anytime soon. It will continue to grow and evolve. Heck, Nasa predicts that once it has outposts running on Mars and the Moon and more, then a data transit network might exist between Earth and all those stations - the internet's new avatar.
I think Google will be out with an online OS asap. They seem most likely to, seeing as they already have a massive number of web applications and services. But I would never want anyone to get a hold of my personal info, my files, my internet tracks and eveyrthing. I value my anonymity (not so anonymous to my online frnds who know me or have seen me) and I'd much rather not be a public showcase just in case Google decides to make all that data public like AOL did a while ago >.< | |

the radio grew and evolved, now it's hardly used and has predecessors like CDs, mp3s, and so on | |

But I can see it as a lagfest for users with slower computers or internet connection. But I think Web 3.0, our internet connection being hispeed will be a big part of it.
So far I am liking Google for text based search. Yahoo for...er nothing. Live for images. ChaCha is fun just to be nice to their guides. =) | |

I think you've got a word mixed up.  CD's, mp3's, and so on are all successors to the radio.
And the radio's hardly used anymore? That's, again quite stereotypical. I listen to the radio every day when I wake up as well as when I go to sleep. It plays on the bus ride to school, and over the PA system at lunch. It plays outside of city hall 24/7, as well as down the street at the farmer's market. I [and most people I know] listen to the radio every time it snows to hear if we have school or not. Public radio alerts are played over the PA system at school when there's emergencies.
The radio is still used a lot; I listen to the radio more than I watch TV, as do quite a few people I know. | |

The radio hasn't been replaced by CDs or MP3 Players, if it had a replacement it would be Television. On the other hand CDs & MP3 Players replaced Tapes. Radio has been around for a very long time, and is now found on the internet and almost everywhere, giving it more popularity if anything. Sort of like how the internet has evolved and is now found on phones and other gadgets, not only on computers. | |

Some may already know. | |

pmskypemsnyahoo | | Re: What search engine do you use? (19th Jan 08 at 11:59am UTC) | | I been keeping an eye on Tafiti for a bit now. They use Microsoft's silverlight and done an amazing job with it. http://www.tafiti.com/ Though the downside of them using silverlight is the load time. Really slow. I doubt a 56ker would come along and think their features are cool. Live.com's image search is amazing, but I will say the same thing for 56kers.
Web 2.0 is still here, web 3.0 probably would make hi speed required, but these people are forgetting 56kers now. My mom is still a 56ker, why? She doesn't want to cough a hundred bucks a month just for internet. | |
