Cringely on inflection points

I doubt if these three inflection points are as major as Cringely makes them out to be, but it makes an interesting read....

Here's the gist:
1. The Xbox 360 is set to become the home computer. Not only will Xbox 360 play video games, it will play music and movies, surf the web and probably even offer a non-PC platform for voice-over-IP. The Redmond giant will undercut their hardware OEMs by building a Microsoft PC.

2. The Google Web Accelerator will double all our surfing speeds for free.

3. Apple's launching of its hi-def movie download service and Yahoo's US$6.99 music subscription service will remake the movie/music biz.

MORE.
