Firefox crashes a lot on random hardware configuration, just how like Chrome doesn't like to work well on other configurations... On my previous system, Chrome was slower than Firefox, but I used it anyway because Firefox would sometimes crash.
Use what works. That's also the reason I dual boot. (Blasphemy, I know.)
The increased RAM usage was a design decision picked to make sure it doesn't crash as easily (one process per tab, extension and plugin is bound to take up more RAM...). Considering how fast Chrome still is on a lot of systems, I don't necessarily consider that a bad thing.
On my previous laptop, Firefox was much more snappy than Chrome. Explain that.
Seriously, by now, no browser is *really* all that bloated. Some of the browsers may run slower or faster depending on your hardware, but it kind of seems random according to my experiences.
Their experimental test player is actually being updated every few weeks or so. My userscript keeps breaking because of it. It's too bad they don't actually add in more keyboard features, though.
Also, Blip.tv and DailyMotion both have functional HTML5 players.
The fax is still more or less a computer. So make a fax machine that actually IS a computer, with its own unique e-mail address, that can send and receive to other such addresses. Then you can work on improving the scanning mechanism or whatever you like.
Of course, regular old faxes suffice in businesses (apparently; I haven't seen a fax in my country, ever).
For any future models, could you consider the amount of RAM some heavy applications require (office software, more RAM-intensive scientific software, Java-based stuff, web browsers...)?
I'd really want one or a few for mostly non-educational purposes. Why? Because it's really power efficient, and will probably contain just about as much processing power I need. The Raspberry Pi sounds like a product that could fare really well even in non-education markets.

Web of Trust is apparently no longer very reliable, if I scour through the comments on the Chrome extension.
Actually, it's worse. It slowed my previous computer down to a crawl. On the upside, it's not difficult to uninstall at all.
I wish I had mod points for you.
...Except on Minecraft. :-)
I once read that they do "me too, but we do it better". It is like their MO. So far
Oh, no, no! I can assure you that I'm not *devoid* of humour. :)
Define "privacy". You're obviously are going to have to enter some personal details to use the service, but that's 100% normal.
I think his point is that with the internet there is no need whatsoever to *buy* porn.
If I read all the descriptions about this OS, it seems like a "future look" OS as in they think ahead. :)
No need to get rude over someone's reply, even if it turns out to be an answer to the wrong question...
Pray? Isn't there any that will work on ARM Linux?

Wow, that was some horrible trolling because it's incredibly easy to prove wrong. :)

Why now of all times, when Nintendo has already made most of the profit from the controllers and they're not sold as much anymore?
There is no evil in companies. There's company goals, and corrupt managers.
Is it easy to replace the built-in RAM with something higher-spec?
For any future models, could you consider the amount of RAM some heavy applications require (office software, more RAM-intensive scientific software, Java-based stuff, web browsers...)?
Debian, Fedora and ArchLinux will be supported from the start.

...For some reason I thought they meant floating in midair. Silly me.
Hovercraft houses would be awesome, though. And incredibly impractical. :P
Then make Mono compatible, please.
