I admit I haven't heard of this before but a quick glance through the documentation reveals nothing that any CS student couldn't knock out with a couple days work. Compared to the excellent Underscore.js (http://documentcloud.github.com/underscore/) this comes out as a damp squib. Am I missing something?
It's already there in the latest Chrome Canary builds (http://tools.google.com/dlpage/chromesxs) though you do have to go to "about:flags" to turn it on. It's apparently scheduled for release in Chrome 9.

I remember almost every tech journal I picked up a couple years ago reviewed Vista as the "New Coming". Yet, a year later these journals are bemoaning how Vista "sucks" (which it does btw).
Er. So? They're shills when they say it is awesome, but they speak the truth if they say it sucks later on. Because you know, Microsoft only pays them to gush about Betas.
As for Windows 7 feeling "so much more responsive".. well, depends who is paying you to write that review innit?
Maybe someone should sew Denon for abuseing people's limited intellectual capability's Well, thank God their nefarious scheme doesn't seem to have affected your post!
You could make it a giant digital picture frame which automatically displays your pictures when you upload them, and then use it as a nice gift for your mother.
Or a stapler maybe.
NO WAIT!!! - a hot glue gun! It's gotta be better for geeks - it plugs in.
Although if it's on paper, they could rub their feet on nylon carpet then hold them together and static will do it's magic, baby... Clippy to the rescue!!!

Check out http://tech.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/11/10/1522246&from=rss . Even though the article does look at the perceived increase in speed with one raised eyebrow, the comments in that article should be pretty insightful.

But,but.. I don't have cell phone coverage in my mom's basement
