Just enabled it. I would prefer a native Disqus solution, and expect they are working on one. By the way, I don’t know how well the sync is working yet. Just enabled it.

I'm not restricted to the time and place anymore. Only restriction nowadays is a dead battery. But last week I found a solution for that, too. I can read my feeds and browse the internet almost anywhere. Mainly in buses and trains, sometimes in beerhouses. <br><br>At home I have a small digital TV converter connected to the PC. It has changed the way I watch TV completely. Once a week I do the programming and PC saves all the stuff I.m interested of. And I can skip all the ads. Right now I don't even own a TV as we have learnt to know it. The way we consume the media has changed quickly. I'm not restricted to the time and place anymore.

There is one part that is missing that I can't quite fill in though. Look at the teeming masses - they LOVE their television, they love to be passively entertained. Do you really think average joe and jane are going to give that up anytime soon? Seems like as long as the average people survive and gather together to watch their average media, there will be a place for mass appeal advertising. Not saying they don't use the web too, but I feel like we can't ignore the fact that much of society is still rooted in it's old ways. Perhaps in a few decades things will look different. I think it's headed int he direction you speak, and we certainly have many obsolete technologies walking amongst us now. The future will be interesting.
