  1. Comment - Imagine, a 'Firefox 4' without browser tabs

    (May 19, 2009 - 4:54 AM)

    Tabs are great. Especially in the file cabinet/folder look of chrome. But the interface feel changes when I am in Firefox opening up links in new tabs and then discover I have like 30 tabs open. Then identifying tabs becomes harder without sifting through each. So it will be amazing and thought inspiring to see what the new innovation will be. Going beyond tabs...

    wait a minute that makes me think of soda can tabs... and how even though we can't seem to do without them... there was a huge design swift in the 80s where cans transitioned from removable V shaped tabs to the current pop in round tabs. OHHH No... there goes Tokyo GO GO Mozilla Whooooaaaa!!!!

  2. Comment - Acer increases netbook size with new Aspire One

    (May 19, 2009 - 4:40 AM)

    With a thinner look/feel and a full sized keyboard I hope its better than the Mac Air... but for now I like my smaller aspire one keyboard. I just get frustrated when the system and keyboard start to mess up and misfire keys and key combinations. I would definitely notice this on the hot running demos at Circuit City where the up key would go down and the left arrow key would go right. While typing text would start to be highlighted at random and positioning would jump around.

    In theory I like the Mac Air, but when using one in the Apple store I wasn't impressed. So I don't know about the bigger and slimmer netbooks. I would like to see more of the idea where the screen can be detached and used as a tablet. Another idea while coming up with a bigger netbook is to have a multiple monitor scheme maybe with optional left and right flaps... wingman monitors that could take the place of things like the taskbar and the addressing and tabs and should so that there is just a reserved reading area and another for controls like in a car... okay so I getting carried away. But I am bit uneasy about these larger screen netbooks because I like the smaller sizes and smaller weight... the idea of portability. I like notebook paper, but legal size is too big and awkward for me... so I hope that doesn't become the case with the Aspire One.
