&gt; so long as the client owns the computer<p>Is Moore law against this?<p>A possible future scenario could be one were technology becomes so cheap that Apple&#x2F;Google&#x2F;Facebook .et all, starts &quot;lending&quot; their own hardware for free so people can access their _open_ walled-garden flavored internet.<p>Projects like of RPi&#x2F;Arduino bring me hope that this wont ever happen, at least to us.
