Every now and then I see something that makes me say Wow.. I did it with Apple's iPhone video and less then 4 weeks later I'm doing it with Microsoft's Surface .. If this thing works half as well as advertised it will have the game-changing power of the CommodoreVic20, Commodore64, and Apple Macintosh and iPod all rolled into one.
The only thing this does not change is domain names. Why?.. because regardless of the input device, we will all need a unique, memorable identity and location on the Internet for our websites; and the ability to send the operator of those sites an email. That's what domain names provide.

My REAL desktop is messy enough. I guess I'm supposed to transfer that mess onto a 'surface' now ?"
***FS*** I agree.. it's messy right now.. but this work in progress is going to change everything. A lot more people online... a lot more often.
Your continuing emphasis on the importance of the connection between email addresses and domain names makes alot of sense.
Alot.
***FS*** Yun Ye said that: "There is no email without domains." So obvious.. yet so important.

Surface.com
Microsoft now is starting to get it., Few days before the Big launch , Microsoft bought surface.com
The domain whois even today was still under the name of well know domain broker T&Z
I wonder how much they pay for it
as today the value of that domain went up the roof.
***FS*** Absolutely correct
