Adam Bosworth on the (un)wired home
When I wrote an article earlier this year on the difficulties of linking stereos and PC systems, I wondered briefly whether I was exposing my technical incompetence. Turns out I can rest easy. Adam Bosworth wants to do the same thing, although his ambitions go a little further than mine: he wants an all-wireless system that he can run from his mobile phone.
Who's Adam Bosworth? The guy in the picture. The guy who's contributed more to important Windows client apps than anyone else on the planet. He designed the original version of Microsoft Access, managed the development of the Internet Explorer 4/5 HTML engine, and pushed Microsoft into XML. Then he did a startup called Crossgain and spent time at BEA after they bought it. Now he's at a little company called Google. He blogs infrequently, but well. And he can't make his music system and his computer system talk to each other sensibly either. Phew.
This problem will get solved soon (see Tom's Hardware for the latest contenders). Soon is just taking longer to arrive than I'd have thought.
