Tech giants, retailers team on home networking news.cnet.com "And technology giants such as Cisco Systems, 3Com and Motorola, as well as start-ups such as 2Wire, are combining all the standards together to create new home appliances, called "residential gateways," that allow consumers to connect electronic devices, such as PCs and appliances, with their phone service and high-speed Net access. "This alliance is a marketing and educational thing," one source said. "In the past, it's been individual companies or technical standards groups pushing it, but there's been nothing like this--a broad spectrum of companies along the whole chain, presenting a united front to talk the talk." The coalition doesn't include service providers such as AT&T, America Online or Qwest, but organizers are talking to them and inviting them to join, sources say. Service providers can help drive adoption of home networking because they can install the technology the same time they connect homes with cable, phone or high-speed Net access. The new home networking alliance also does not include Microsoft, a big rival of Sun Microsystems. Both companies have competing strategies for home networking and are involved in a lawsuit over the Java programming language" Other news.......

Today's OSEK announcement reminded me that the magazine, "The Futurist", had two articles on automobiles in September/October 2000: 1) Fighting Traffic with Technology and 2) Driving in 2020. Both give an idea what is on the drawing boards for the auto industry. A quote: "Environmentally friendly smart cars of the future will be part chauffeur, part personal assistant and part Web browser." It lists a Web site: its-network.com and its.dot.gov (Intelligent Transport Systems). Lots for WIND to work on here.
