People underestimate screen size and immersion, (efficiency/strength of 4th wall) for attracting audience. When the living room becomes mature in it’s interface mobility will be mostly about interoperability from/between hubs.

“I actually feel some sympathy for these Tea Party Republicans in the House of Representatives,” he said, acknowledging that the audience “may find that hard to believe.” “The sympathy I feel for them is this: They’re at 18 percent approval, and you just elected them two years ago.
