I actually love a good "future vision" ad. They're often pretty inspiring. One of my favorites is Corning's "A Day Made of Glass": [VIDEO]

When I think of a World of Glass I always go back to Corning's A Day Made of Glass [VIDEO] which has far more every day examples we can all believe in

I'm looking at Corning's Day of Glass video [VIDEO] and once again, I'm being reminded of Apple's biggest weakness. There's no cross-platform functionality and that's going to be Apple's biggest problem within a decade. Any idea how Apple might handle a dilemma like that ?
