Microsoft Research Showcases New Browser Prototype, "Gazelle"

Ars Technica reports that Microsoft has opened up about "Gazelle," a new browser prototype of theirs that is modeled after the underlying concepts of operating system design. "A research team led by Microsoft's Helen Wang recently published a report about an experimental browser prototype called 'Gazelle' that uses processes to isolate page content elements originating from different domains. It builds on the concept of multiprocess browsing but uses more fine-grained isolation to expand on the security advantages that are already delivered by existing multiprocess browsing models. But is it an operating system, Microsoft Research's analogue to Google's Chrome OS? Not quite."

Re:Gazelle? How about Tree Sloth?

Ruminants have multiple chambers, period.

There is no set number and it depends on species.

There is nothing to do with safety in ruminants, and more to do with the fact that they eat foods that require far more processing to be broken down into useful components. Basically the food ferments in their 'stomachs' as other bacteria and such break the food down as the bacteria eat it, then as it makes its way along the process it becomes something useful to the animal itself.

Cows can't eat grasses. They can how absorb the byproducts of the grass that ferments in their stomach thanks to the symbiotic relationship with the organisms in their stomachs.

Yes yes, its off topic, but I've just been the boyfriend to 4 years of vet school. err, I mean a girl in vet school.
