Boot to Gecko Demo

Mozilla released a video demo of their Boot to Gecko project yesterday. I’m usually against mobile computing (iPad/tablets, browsing on a mobile phone, etc) simply because I believe computing should be done on a desktop with a nice full keyboard and optional mouse. This time, however, Mozilla has managed to spark my interest. I’m excited to see what a web standards-based phone will be capable of. I’m also happy that it won’t be yet another platform for developers to support – any web app should work automatically.

Chinese Internet Users Flood Obama’s Google+ Page

Chinese internet users began flooding Barack Obama’s Google+ page with comments following an unblocking by their government. Most of the comments were in Chinese were political in nature, while others were just people ranting. This specific comment made me laugh (all the comments were being posted in Obama’s latest update, which was regarding bumper stickers):

Developers at Gnome have reduced the entire UI to a single button and they’re even trying to get rid of that.
