PC are going away in a way
People care more for Low Power / Portable Devices to do Cloud Computing.
What I will like to see is the way of Home Servers like a small scale Mainframe. That way all you need in your house is a small portal type device. A Tablet, Netbook, or even a Phone can access it. Another thing that will be awesome if you are good enough is to have your e-mail delivered there too. You are in control of your data or outsource it like Gmail, Yahoo, AOL, Hot Mail and such.
I am thinking on getting a commercial line, but now my ISP let me up load almost 3 MBS, so will see how well it works. As is right now, Netflix at my house is moving close to 4 MBS so, might work just as fast. If I can register the domain it would be even nicer, but as is right now, I have to use the IP Address of my Router with port forwarding.
Either way, the PC market is shrinking.
BTW, I have not bought a PC in ages and I made my last PC back in 2005/2006. Still up and running like champ (AMD64 3000+).

Re: HP to stop PC production
And I on the other hand have very little desire, for several reasons, to buy anything but one desktop PC for personal use. I refuse to rely on any device for things I can do manually. I refuse to buy a laptop, as I refuse to be tied to a computer everywhere I go. I want a life. Therefore, this is distressing news to me in a very real way. Nothing ticks me off more than to try to talk to someone while they show more interest in texting on their cell phone, or posting to everywhere on their laptop 24/7. There has to come a point in life where you put the damn things down, and show some respect for others. There also has to be a time when business days end at 5:00, and we are not readily available to everyone on the planet but the people we should be in our own homes.
I'd rather be a free person who fears terrorists, than be a "safe" person who fears the government.
