IBM Trying to Capture the "Ghost in the Machine"
An AP newswire article by Brian Bergstein, via Yahoo! News, reports that:
Since 2003, an IBM group has been developing a way for portable storage devices to transfer literally everything someone might do on one computer to another — including programs that are in action.
IBM calls the project SoulPad, because it's as if the soul of the computer is frozen in the portable device, ready to be reconstituted in another machine's "body" at the user's will.
IBM has had to fiddle with some programs to make this possible, but many computer applications are already built to survive interruptions, such as when a Wi-Fi connection momentarily goes on the fritz.
