Mozilla Unveils Aurora Concept Browser
Barence writes "Mozilla has unveiled a spectacular new concept browser, dubbed Aurora. The bleeding-edge browser is part of a new Mozilla Labs initiative, in which the open-source foundation is encouraging people to contribute ideas and designs for the browser of the future. The Aurora browser demonstration shows a highly advanced way of collaborating data gathered on the web, and represents a spectacular introduction to the new Mozilla Labs, which much like Google Labs looks to become a home for offbeat projects which would otherwise probably never see the light of day. More details, and a video demonstration, are on the Mozilla Labs site."
Those Mozilla guys! - the demonstration was done on a mac, every single Mozilla developer uses a Mac. And it's funny, they constantly attack Silverlight, they constantly attack Flash and then all of them use proprietary operating systems, they don't seem to have a problem doing it. And then they had the Guiness record thing for Firefox 3 and you went to the website and it had a flash map to show where people are downloading - so there definitely is a double standard here. It is getting ridiculous.
And that's after all their claiming that you can do everything in AJAX - so they definitely don't "walk the walk". Mozilla is evil therefore we'll help poisoning the web with Silverlight, fuck open standards - consumers dont care where new ideas come from, just as long as they're offered at competative prices.

That's what I said about your little sister's pink and pouty pussy. With just a few wisps of angel hair here and there... I'm going farming!
I'm prepared to create a new law akin to Godwin's for every time somebody pointlessly brings up some sci-fi TV series in a completely unrelated discussion.
I can't hear that question above without hearing somebody who slobbers through their teeth reading it.
