Microsoft and Teleportation??
My friend David Kirkpatrick writes the best weekly column on technology issues that I've ever read. You can read him at http://www.fortune.com/fortune/fastforward
In his most recent issue, he quotes Rick Rashid, who runs Microsoft Research saying, "We have researchers here who have done work in teleportation and things like that," he says. "Say in 20 or 30 years Microsoft invents the teleporter. Given the reputation we have, the headline would be, 'Microsoft Copies Again!'"
Well every time anyone asks me what I would love to invest in, I always answer "teleportation". It's the ultimate destructive technology. No more planes, trains, buses, cars, phones, hotels........
So the fact that Microsoft is really spending money on teleportation excites me. I want to learn more.
Oh, this is funny. Just imagine the poor schmuck who is the first guy that gets to beta test it. Do you suppose he'll sue when he comes out with his left arm on his right side? Given Microsoft's history of product development: (1. ship a product 2. fix bugs 3. ship an update 4. fix bugs that the first update made 5. charge for an upgrade) I think I'll wait...

most microsoft products work fairly well most of the time for most users
endorsement or exposition of relativity, you decide
what they lack in verticality they make up for horizontally
i also feel teleportation to be the 'next big thing'
sorry, couldn't resist it!
what else are we given the preview (astral travelling) for?
sure will make a lot of airport security have to look for alternative employment
i also predict sound.powered vehicles
my son's bass woofer almost runs his truck!
nice clean lines to your blog
i'll shut up now and leave it that way
jes' hootchie-koo over and sample some lucinda williams
thanks
