The End of the OS

Bonnier R&D's Erich Hugo on the end of the operating system, and why that's a good thing.

I am a consumer (not the walrus) and I need to get my daily fix of PopSci. So of course I need to pop into the website and see the latest headlines...If only it was as simple as that, though, because the wish to consume media means I need to get to a lap- or desktop. I need to boot the device up, which is all ready a two- to three-minute plus exercise; I then add some seconds to find and open the relevant browser application. Then I need to actually type in an address and wait for some loading times.
