Best Apps are Linux Apps
Good point here by John Battelle/O’Reilly about the future being in networked applications. And if John is right, and the best networked apps are media-centric, then how should that affect our digital devices?
The current push (led primarily by media co’s) is to lock down our device hardware and DRM our content. I have to believe that these initiatives significantly diminish possible network effects.
