Intel Developer Forum 2009
Eric Kim - The Platform for CE Innovation [1]

A surprise guest addresses the audience with a conceptualized keynote followed by Kim's introduction of Intel's CE 4100; the latest type of video system on a chip which is enabling the convergence of the World Wide Web with HDTV devices clearly enabling the networking of HDTVs as "the next big thing."

As I've said all along.

While I scoff at some of Kim’s presumptuous and self-serving remarks about “what people want” the formation of the Intel/Yahoo/Adobe cartel leaves no doubt Adobe Flash is now positioned to become an exclusive and integral part of how the web is rapidly being made to converge with the TV experience.

I’m also quite sure Microsoft’s .NET and Silverlight developers are asking themselves how they are going to remain relevant as this most exciting market opportunity occurs with nary a trace of anything reminiscent of Microsoft. I happen to be one of them.
