Is Mozilla Ubiquity Dead?

Posted by timothy on from the no-man-it's-everywhere dept.

darthcamaro writes "Remember Mozilla Ubiquity? It was an effort to bring natural language commands to the Firefox browser. Now after almost two years of development and a half million downloads, the project is no longer being actively developed. Project founder Aza Raskin is now working on other projects, including Mozilla Jetpack, so Ubiquity is on the back burner. '"There is huge demand for being able to connect the Web with language — to not have to move from one site to another to complete your daily tasks," Raskin said. "And there is huge demand for anyone to be able to write small snippets of code that lets them command the Web the way they want. Ubiquity gave everyday developers a voice with how the browser and the Web works."'"

    Inner city blacks didn't do as well with the natural language queries, so the project was immediately declared racist in nature and quietly abandoned. Sort of like IQ tests.

    Equal opportunity does not guarantee equal results, but just try telling that to a bleeding-heart Liberal. Just try it.

      So that was the Obama change that we were supposed to believe in? Lying about the sophistication of a nigger's intellect (yes, yes I know that this is an oxymoron)?

      And they'll agree with you, yeah. Your point?

      The question I have for Obama is this: Who is stimulating the economy? Me, the guy who has provided 14 people good paying jobs and serves over 200,000 people per year with a flourishing business? Or, the single fat colored mammy sitting at home pregnant with her fourth child waiting for her next welfare check?

      The latter. She and all other niggresses like her are keeping KFC, Popeye's and Church's Chicken in business.
