Imo, I agree completely and would add that there are many examples of companies who succeeded in product/service categories because they simplified the experience, not added to it: Craigslist, Tumblr, Woot come to mind.

Is that THE John B?

Details on the next gen of the AppleTV are leaking: http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/the-next-apple...

Following Apple's minimalistic design aesthetic, they are 'taking away' local storage, and maybe doing even more on the remote.

Your comments re: kids is a good one, but easily solved with an iPad cover. The possibility of using an iPad to browse live video TV and film previews is super exciting - live video on the remote has never been possible, even with the top-of-the-line Logitech Harmony series remotes.

GoogleTV is a step in the right direction, but I'm in the camp that thinks Google will be chasing Apple with Android and every other non-ad product they try to go after for the next 15 years - but that is for another post.

One more comment on the iPad - more than a personal device, I think of it as a coffee-table device. It is a bridge for application developers to work on bigger displays - to ultimately get to the TV. iPad Scrabble and the iPhone Scrabble Tile Rack are a great example of how apps for the family might totally change the way people think about the TV.

Any so it is. You should post a link in the BigGovernment.com comment stream as well ( It gets a lot more traffic than this site).

Is there a link for the results/stats of the Unofficial Census?

There was sufficient interest in this piece that I fleshed it out a bit and was syndicated on Big Government:

A couple of interesting findings in my followup:
- Canada, Australia, and New Zealand all had a online option for their 2006 census
- 9% of responses came in thru online. In 2011, they project it will be 35%
- The still sent a mailing. It included a unique code to identify your online form

Jeffrey, an eCensus would not obviate the need for at least one mailing, but would could get us below 3 and still correlate addresses - saving time and money. Here's a link to a post-census report by the Australians if you're interested in the technical details of their first run:

As I'm guessing you are aware, the IP privacy issue is an open one - a eCensus doesn't really make that problem any more acute than it already is.
