> "General purpose computation on your own machine is probably going to be illegal in 20 years" Yeah this is exactly my worry with these things. I don't mind the cloud being a thing. But I don't want to be forced to use it. Especially in my private life - work can decide what tools we should use there, that's their prerogative. Though I personally think it won't come that far but that the real barrier will be that we just won't be able to but decent PCs anymore because everyone will be using what amounts to thin clients (think Chromebook etc)
