Yeah. Well however it's done it should put the user in control of the program. Right now as soon as you choose to run a program you abdicate all your user rights. That's insane.
I think it makes sense to have the OS centrally manage application rights. All of them.
Execution
Granular Network Access
FS Read/Write (like limit to directory or file)
Mutability/Updates
Hardware/Driver Access
Execute other programs
etc etc etc...
It just seems like kind of a no-brainer. Why does my browser need anything more than read/write on the cache folder and write for Downloads? Why shouldn't acrobat not be able to execute other programs by default (handled by the OS). Why does a game need access to anything but it's saved games folder? I understand that most of our problems are from users but it seems like a sane set of default policies could make things a lot easier to manage:)
Haha...I think you gave TWO examples. Any you mentioned that most people would use neither of them.
Of course extensions have value, but for most people they just bloat the browser. How many toolbars do you see on the average non-techie windows browser. And how many actually get used. Yuck.

By the way, Mozambique is about twice the size of California with a population of about 22 million. Yes that means there was at least one reported fever that was suspected to be malaria related for every single person in the country.
*Note some people are infected more than once per year and some not at all.
I live in Mozambique (Pemba, Cabo Delgado) and we've got plenty of Malaria to go around. It's very, very common. And I'll look up the numbers for you...
In Mozambique 2006, WHO reports:
22 Million Suspected Cases 7 Million Confirmed 19 Thousand Dead Malaria instance rate went from 20% to 30% from 2001 to 2007
From a science perspective I'm pretty sure that either computer are already "sentient" or (IMHO, more likely) that we don't really understand what sentience is. At all.

The sub-pixel hinting is very weak. Desaturate the image and it's just as readable. I'd like to see it on an iPhone though.
be careful, you're playing with fire.

Yes, that's correct.

I'm sure it reduces the criminal payout to know that the rest of the world is competing to find and fix the same bug. IE on the other hand...
I really want to know how is this much different than a postage stamp?
What additional features will people need?

You could definitely skip the rip the guts out step.

I'm pretty sure you could implement scrolling and other clicks pretty easily. It should be fairly simple to track multiple fingers.
You would feel the surface every time you tapped, not unlike a trackpad in tap-to-click mode.

That's a cute story :)
Uhhhh, my wordpress database has more entries than that. Why should a few million entries be a problem for any database program?
