In a blog, Mozilla Lab's Aza Raskin demonstrated a screen capture video of the beta (loose) of Mozilla's Mobile platform. Some very interesting application here, including the use of tabs (THANK YOU!), plus some interesting things to use with touch screens.
Have a peek at the video and a review here, courtesy of Webware.

Promotion of the Microsoft Surface
Although this is a fabricated advertisement, the functionality is the same as the practical demo that has been displayed. Therefore, unlike the Singapore post a couple weeks back, this movie is showing what's coming around the corner, if you remove the Zune aspect of it.
Or, have a peek at this parody of the Surface.
You can also see an actual demo of the Surface, from CES08, rather than the promotional video above.
Although the first applications will be in bars, restaurants, and other commercial markets, private home use is on the way. One of my favorite applications I've heard is the remote/TV guide. No more searching for the remote... you can control your entertainment entirely from the coffee table...
How will it stand up to the spills, crashes, crayons, and beating a typical home table takes?

Firefox 3 Demo
If you are not on the Firefox bandwagon, I encourage you to give it a try. The open-source aspect of this browser makes for many excellent features.
Firefox3 is about to come out, likely in June. View a nice demo of this new browser here.
Computer Manufacturers Take a Cue from Cell Phones
The sub-notebook world has been all abuzz with Asus' Eeepc, and many others are jumping on board. While the prices are competitive, this article by Mike Elgan suggests the sub-notebook may go the way of the cell phone -- FREE.
The idea, same as the cell phones, is to give them away at a loss, or free, but tie the consumer in to a longer-term contract that gathers the costs back, and then some. This system has worked amazingly well for cell phones, though little else, but may translate well to the world of sub-notebooks.
It's an interesting thought, one that RBC has already jumped on, as have a few other organizations.
Time will tell.
