homeless (or living out of your phone)

I need to root my phone and set it up as an NFS server so I can carry my home directory with me. Even I don't loose my phone.

Well not that often.

I'd be homeless. Hmm, I wonder if I Could do it with a hosted VM. You'd have to script some stuff for caching in it if you wanted to go over the web, a phone on the desk next to it via 802.11g is faster than you guys have ever seen from your home internet unless you've got Fios or whatever. 11n is faster than wired networking was ~10 years ago, in this case it would be the wireless receiver as your most likely chokepoint.

In theory it could be faster than your hard drive unless you have an SSD.

People don't understand that their phone already is their PC, your main computer is more  an entertainment center hooked up to it. There is a reason HDMI* is on a lot of the new phones. Stuff that's insanely addictive (World of Warcraft for instance) can run off a phone. Until recently most adults didn't play on their computers, ,they where strictly for work and porn. Now Facebook has opened up a new realm and a lot of smart people are going to spend their time leveling their toon instead of finding the cure for cancer.
