im not trying to be funny but why wouldnt they code up firefox in Java or even (dare i say it without being flamed out of existence) C#??
Java would make their development alot easier across platforms, also latest java version 5(or 1.5 as some call it) is quite fast
heck as we speak i have azureus, eclipse and zend studio working away running on the JVM only taking 50MB of memory, and when i close the programs i have peace of mind
I guess the media companies see my idea as too sensible to work.
ill have to agree with you, alot of these media companies dont have common sense to realise the fortunes they can make by utilising new technologies
in there quest for ever larger profits (as if making billions is not good enough)
the mobile phone operators (on whose networks these devices run on) are killing inovation and use of networked services
i mean what good is having a mobile with the latest opera browser if that "really cool widget i want" will cost me a fortune to get at 10 a megabyte (yes vodafone and Co. do rip us off blindly!!! i mean come on! on a broadband connection i can get 20 gigibytes of data for same price, which is ALOT of heavy browsing)

or even better, adverts poping up on the navigator telling me that i would love a burger from the macdonalds 50meters ahead
would it not be easier to put this $50billion into a political campaign to bring some conservationalist dudes into power,
who in turn can tax gasoline out of existence and pump that tax money into subsidising greener vehicles
or put this money into fusion research! how about fusion powered air conditioners
to cool the earth? [doesnt sound as far fethched as 8000barges either:)]
i can see an article on slashdot circa 2020 "some rufus wants to terrafuse our planet!"
theres no telephone line rental, i dumped the telephone just use mobiles
3mbit cable + cable line rental + digital tv @ about 65 A month
about 20% of that is VAT (value added tax) they love to tax us here in the EU
also theres such a thing called "TV License" (nothing to do with broadband) but our friends on the other side of the pond might be shocked that we have to pay a yearly tax on OWNING A TV!!:(

Hexa Core?
as the numbers of cores increase, and they will! the names will get more rediculous, and harder for the average John Doe to pronounce
