  1. Re:Is this just a virtual file system? on Blake Ross Working on Parakey Web OS · · Score: 1

    I am going to pose a few questions. Is this XRI syntax 2? A DMZ? More than a proxy application? Multitasking on the WEB? Again, what is the WEB? Are we multitasking on the web or on our actual desktop now? Desktop clutter as Internet clutter....Make the connection, shorten the connection, break the connection, reconnect. Would this: (1) resolve dead links? (2) require extra effort to manage large groups of files? What is the nature of inbound or outbound links in terms of static content in such a system? Opportunities for clickthroughs unified throughout Metafiles? How much is bandwidth worth to the end user, if the idea is to share resources and the server is acting on behalf of the client? (note: the term end user should be changed) I believe the stateless nature of the Web would cause some issues, here, given that the transitory condition of the user would be directly proportional to the connections amongst him/her/it. (This produces a provision for convergence from within the application layer.) Syncing the desktop with the Internet would make more sense rather that using a web application as throughput. Multiended connections may require a new protocol to be efficient with multiended sessions; wouldn't you agree? Having dynamic endpoints that are real-time would free up tunneling, but restarting may complicate the issues due to change in session or multiple concurrent sessions. So this brings me to my final question....Are we talking about a pseudo terminal with corresponding shells for tunneling objects? If so, the ability to bypass a firewall may be a critical issue. If we are talking about a pseudo terminal, I would think that spatial navigation would be good to have in a virtual environment. (I can also see how this connects with current developments within Firefox) Then again, an access key based upon gestural input would be superior. Development of such a system may allow for the advancement of new languages and forms of constructing from abstracting within.(i.e., locale) for/from the semantic web. But who knows.....

  2. Marketing Issue on Theaters Unhappy About Faster DVD Releases · · Score: 1

    It has always been my understanding that the Theaters are not exploiting the opportunity to maximize the potential of the theater experience. Enhancing marketing to include DVD distribution after paying to see the movie would promote moviegoers and also allow opportunities to cross-sell and upsell for the studios. Personally I think there is too much advertising and not enough merchandise avaiable. When I sit in an empty theater on a weekday and I think about how the empty space could be used, I often imagine ocming to the theater not just to get high-margin soda and popcorn, but to also leave with some tangible reward.
