Very informative article in the December issue of Vanity Fair. Michael Wolff discusses the ever increasing presence of gadgets in our digital lives. In a nutshell, the article runs down the rift between Apple's Steve Jobs and the coming-soon-free-phone gadget rumored to be coming from the geniuses at Google. Those of you in my English 201 class should appreciate the information and Rik, they even drop "convergence".
I have to say that the idea of a free phone capable of doing just about anything is very appealing. Although, Mr. Wolff does bring up the reality that this would only add to the individual files of everyone that Google is keeping on us. Shit.
The phone would supposedly run on Wi-fi and do all that and more. Basically, the opposite of what the iPhone stands for. I think I get a bill just from mentioning that darn contraption. What if I don't want "Charlie" to interrupt the Rage Against the Machine tune I'm currently rocking to. Bullet in the HEAD!
