Death Of The Desktop

InformationWeek > Web Applications > TransMedia Plots Death Of The Desktop > November 3, 2005

An Interesting concept - Pay 5 bucks or 10 bucks a month and have everything hosted off a website so that you can get to it any time from anywhere. All your documents and everything. The whole aim is to replace the desktop. The only thing that makes me wonder is the security. How can I put my private documents and musings in the hands of others to play around with, look at or even sell to third parties. OK so maybe I am being a bit paranoid, but still. It makes on wonder!
