Firefox 4 will push out the edges of the browser
,----[ Quote
| Beard's philosophy is this: The browser needs to evolve. Beard believes the
| browser concept hasn't fundamentally changed in 10 years. It's still an
| isolated piece of software, he says. Mozilla Lab's push is to blur the edges
| of the browser, to make it both more tightly integrated with the computer
| it's running on, and also more hooked into Web services. So extended, the
| browser becomes an even more powerful and pervasive platform for all kinds of
| applications.

You've heard of KDE (the K Desktop Environment)? How about an MDE (hint:
M=Mozilla)
,----[ Quote ]
| I'm a total beliver in the idea of a BBDE (browser-based desktop
| environment) and I think the slashdot entry hits the nail precisely
| on the head; the most difficult cat to skin in making a BBDE a
| reality is the persistence mechanism. I'd also add to that the
| notion of mobility. True viability of any BBDE will depend on its
| ability to survive the rigors of mobile use. Translated, you have
| to be able to keep your data (and applications) on something like
| a USB-key and your data and apps have to be accessible as though
| you are online, even though you may be off-line.
