Today, ZDNet posted a little rant about Apple Corporation becoming a possible video game console maker sometime in the future. One quality that makes Apple a possible competitor is their very good operating system called OS X that is based on Unix. Another quality that Apple possesses is its ability to capture the home user’s attention with innovative home computing products. Since Apple loves challenging Microsoft with its own “hip” versions of the same products, perhaps Apple will make an “Ibox” to compete with Microsoft’s XBox. Apple hasn’t made any announcements on this yet but keep your eyes peeled on the console industry. It’s a market that seems to be getting more and more competitive every year. Now that’s food for thought!
Yesterday, I told you that my vision of the "next big thing" is a new home-computing architecture that grows up from a game console. And I promised that today I’d name my choice for the company best able to make this a reality.
It’s Apple Computer, the only company with all the skills--and the incentive--needed to make this happen.
Over the past five years, Apple Computer has become an even more marginal player in personal computing. (Of course, it looks like personal computing itself has become pretty marginalized lately, at least if hardware sales are any indication.)
APPLE NEEDS something to spark some growth, and while its strategy today is more solid than it has been in years, the company still can't overcome its biggest problem: Windows is already in most of the places Apple wants to be. If Apple is to grow, it needs to find something new--and that's what I am offering.
The next big thing won’t be a single item, though I’ve already described it as a game console that takes over the home. People are looking for ways to improve entertainment and communications, perhaps bringing things like computing and home automation along for the ride. This will likely require multiple devices, from multiple vendors, all working together.

it's rubbish...
