Perhaps once again Apple could be the one shaking it up. They already lead the charge with retina displays on the laptops, and we can hope it will come to desktop as well. if the new mac pro is any indication, they might try to do innovative things on the graphic side. As they are in position to force a boost of the graphics performance of all their hardware they might be the only one to be in position to do so. On the control side, I found the magic trackpad to be really different and a lot more usable for basic tasks and gestures (I'd use a mouse for gaming and a pen for drawing, but everything else is easier on the trackpad) Too bad no company seem to be really advancing on the personal networking side. Google would have the hardware and software knowledge to pull it out, but as long as advertisement is their core business it woudn't make any sense. For now a Synology like NAS with pluggable apps seems to be the less cumbersome solution to have devices talk together.
