This is an interesting video about the Internet and technologies in general. The basic thesis is that we’ve gone from walled-garden computing platforms to “generative” do-anything platforms, now back towards walled-garden platforms. The iPhone SDK and the Facebook Platform aren’t really open. What happens when we let more and more get locked down, and why aren’t things open like the desktop computer was in the 90s?

The talk is an hour long with about 20 minutes of comments, but if you have the time it’s pretty interesting. I was installing LabVIEW.
