We are all doomed, and of course it is Bill Gates’ fault.
The Big M is unveiling something called “Live Mesh”. You can read all about it, if you’re into that sort of thing. I’m sure that it’s got something to do with being more productive and data management, and you know… folders of some kind, probably. But here’s the part to pay attention to:
In the official description, we are told that Live Mesh “is a ’software-plus-services’ platform and experience from Microsoft that enables PCs and other devices to ‘come alive’ by making them aware of each other through the Internet”.
!!!
My God, did NOBODY at this corporation watch The Terminator? Or Terminator 2, at least? (I forgive them for skipping 3.)
This product, as described by the developer itself, is SkyNet. SkyNet, people!
My computer “coming alive” is the LAST thing I want to happen. (Okay, actually third-last, right behind “President McCain” and the whole “mauled by a pack of rabid wolves” thing. [yes, that's a thing].) I don’t want to sit down one day to play a nice game of Solitaire and have Joshua start playing Global Thermonuclear War, if I may mix my cinematic metaphors.
They must be stopped. “Live Mesh” cannot succeed. Let’s see… Linda Hamilton is busy doing some Canadian TV show. The Governator has his greasy hands full these days. And I just don’t trust these clowns.
Our only hope is that Live Mesh adheres to Microsoft’s typical usability standards, and sooner or later, it will crash itself.
