Excellent O'Reilly Talk on the internet of things...

Brilliant talk - amoungst the highlights

on real time - "Imagine crossing a road with traffic information from 5 minutes ago"

on devices - which won't need an IP address because we can already recognise anything from a fridge to an X-box just by its energy turn on signature - we might call these ES addresses "energy signature" addresses

and the analogy between wall street and major web players - when the brokers become traders....

conditioned to fear

this is just nonesense!

most well adjusted, intelligent people living outside the US wouldn't even recognize the world Tim O'Reilly talks about and microsoft builds products for

depressing and scary in equal measure....
