    Nobody will ever stream uncompressed video, it makes no sense

    Nobody thought it would ever make sense stream games over the internet with Nvidia Go (or whatever it’s called), but it’s being done. Nobody thought it would make sense to turn a browser into a nearly full operating system, but that’s about done.
