I love Firefox. I don't think it takes too much memory. Sure it could use more but its not so bad. Right now for example its using 128M (after being open for days) on a 4G machine which is fine.
"However, this does not come cheap: as rough rules of thumb, you can expect to pay four times the normal economy fare for business, and eleven times for first class! " from http://wikitravel.org/en/First_and_business_class_travel (I donno how legit that site is)
This is great for Gramma/pa. Or other beginner users. I have to support my parents and would love it give this to them (when its 1.0). Of course, its not for Slashdot "nerds" to use ourselves.
I like the idea of using Infrared as an Out of Band (OOB) channel. It can be used to provide a caption for photos like they show in a museum. I could see a cheap new product that you can clip on to things that transmits a IR beacon of information. Perhaps to direct pizza drivers and invited party guests to your house. Why not use IR to label your own artwork on the wall. There seem like alot of interesting uses for this captioning. Of course, advertisers seem to be the main users of QR codes. And having The Authorities decide what you can and can not film is ugly.

Now if you see a screenshot of a browser viewing a website you also see the URL (in the location bar). In Chrome you won't. This is bad. The URL is best thing about the internet.
What's needed to a local OS for beginner users. It would reduce clutter but saving things in virtual folder, etc (with out being asked to). Perhaps by type/time/tags/etc. Also mix in some automatic dropbox-like backup. (There was talk about WinFS being SQL for Vista but I guess that never happened.)
Wikipedia says: The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is an IETF-defined signaling protocol, widely used for controlling multimedia communication sessions such as voice and video calls over Internet Protocol (IP). The protocol can be used for creating, modifying and terminating two-party (unicast) or multiparty (multicast) sessions consisting of one or several media streams. The modification can involve changing addresses or ports, inviting more participants, and adding or deleting media streams. Other feasible application examples include video conferencing, streaming multimedia distribution, instant messaging, presence information, file transfer and online games.
Maybe is this obvious. In the interview he mentions that optimization is hard because the types of variables aren't known. For me (and probably most programmers) the variable names are a dead give away on the type. A variable called "i" is going to be an int and "str" is a string. Likewise with iName and strName. I wonder if they have run some analysis on a large body of code to see if they can do a good guess on the variable type from its name.
Slashdot Mirror
Or a meta-package.

It would rather trust my desktop (and browser) to a non-profit.

Arg, feet and kilometers in the same paragraph equals a mess.

Its like your own Google Docs.

I would like to see a Pidgin plugin for Skype!
Really, people ask you to speed up the databases using the GPU?! Regularly.
My thoughts exactly. This should be part of the CPU. Like floating point.
Do you really need a entire 64-bit OS to redefine time_t ?
I think its already defined as a long (on 32 bit systems).
What if I want $goodbrandofserver functionality and my $tvbrand attempts to lock me into $evilserver functionality but is otherwise a very nice TV.
...I like it. The faster .drpm alone is worth it.
Most people will just go with the default... that's the problem.

How about adding an expire date to all existing tax laws. And new ones.
That way they would garbage collect themselves.
You are right. Arduino is important enough to have its own icon!

*That's* the alternative.
What about that guy who tweeted that the copters were shaking the windows?

Not to mention the FLOSS/open alternative to Facebook.
Soon, please!
Now javaScript is so fast perhaps other interpreted languages would be "compiled" to JS. I am thinking of Perl6 for one.
