Thanks to Chris Jones for writing about a very interesting talk by Aza Raskin:

Video: Away with Applications: The Death of the Desktop

You should check out Chris’s summary, and the video as well.

This is one of the few videos I’m glad I watched instead of just ripped to mp3 and listened to – a lot of visual stuff, well worth the time.
