PARC's Popout Prism Aids Web Navigation

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the interesting-ideas dept.

sulo writes "Popout Prism is a Web Browser that reduces the amount of time users end looking for information in Web pages. By creating visual "popouts" that emphasize critical elements in Web pages, Popout Prism draws users' attention to the right information." Not a very complicated idea, but one that could be useful.

  6. A Letter From Niger: +1, Informative by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Dear Mister Gaorge Bush:

    Please keep this in the strictest confidense. You do not know me, but my name is Umbuto Johnson, and I am the grandson of Ashtari P. Johnson, in charge of the nuclear programme of the African country of Niger.

    For severale years, my grandfather had been secretly selling radoactiv materiels to the little known country of Iraqe. He was given the sum of
    twenty million dollars by Saddem Hussan, of Iraqe, for this materiels. When my grandfather was discovered, two years ago, he was shot by the
    government. The money from those sales however remained hidden to all.

    Before he was caoght, my grandfather shared with me his secret, and gave me instructions on how to move the moneys out of the country. In order
    to do this, I need the help of a trustworthy American friend and this is why I am seeking to write to you today.

    In order to recieve the moneys I must pay a fee bribe of twenty thousand American dollars. I do not have this moneys. If you can send to me these
    moneys, I will split my grandfathers moneys with you.

    Please tell nobody of this message, for I fear I will be in grave danger if it is known. I am relying on you, George Bush, to keep my secret. Respond to me and I will tell you how to send the moneys to me.

    Your frend,
    Umbuto Johnson
