Fantasy island nonsense. How are they going to lockup all that data, magical fairy dust? The genie is out of the bottle, as much as newsweek wishes this were 1950 it's not. It's fine and dandy that this guy expects to pay on these new devices. The reality is they are just computers and they will only remain tied up in proprietary software for so long. I expect I'll get hold of all the data I want for free on my computer just like I always have. I expect I will only use devices where I can run arbitrary code and I expect after they get tired of paying, the rest of the world will catch up.
