On linux, I use a windows manager that lets me bind keys for "goto firefox" or "goto emacs". Or I use virtual desktops basically for the same thing. On my mac I can use Quicksilver for the same task. Some pre-defined, determined key combination that brings me directly where I want to go. Any task not in my day to day works with expose, or alt tab, etc. Often Quicksilver solves this task quicker than these methods anyway.
No zooming over a list, or stack, or grid, or anything. The keyboard alone can already solve these tasks with the mouse providing extra support when needed.
While the video was cool, I don't think it solves any issues that can't already be solved in a much easier fashion.
I could be behind on my OpenID knowledge, but I don't think any site that wants to be OpenID compatible MUST accept any OpenID. If you have a site that's free to signup for anyway, than accepting all openid's is perfect. I thought that this was one of the benefits of the spec. You can make a site that only accepts employees of company A easily if company A gives all of it's employees an OpenID. OpenID doesn't force you to accept Bob's self-implemented OpenID auth server, but it provides the protocol to do so easily.
I want to see where Google takes this, could work out for the best cause while I don't see an issue with urls, my parents have no idea if they have one, or how to use it.
I think it's up to the IT department being smart. In my business they do a great job managing the computers that need managing yet my team of 6 programmers are allowed to do what we need to do to get our job done. Common sense goes along way as long as the company is small enough that the IT department knows it's "clients".
This has been known for a while. Their plan is to release it now cause they finally decided to go with features rather than cost. It still has a hard drive cranks for when power is unavailable. It has a bunch of design goals that are NOT the same as other cheap laptops. It's meant to be rugged, water resistant, wireless that can span miles to provide (very slow) internet in places that wouldn't otherwise support it.
They already have a bunch of orders for other countries that are buying millions. Their plan is to let the price drop now that hardware is set in stone.
Just have to remember that you're getting a much different machine when buying one of these then buying a 300 dollar computer with monitor.
Demos require protection cause the true goal of the protection is to track and cause users to buy games more than once. Same with most DRM. They want control of your computer.
I want to know something, if you try and install the game on a second computer, and then a third (whatever you need to do to get past the allowed number of copies or whatever) does it still install the rootkit but then not let you play the game?
