A couple points: a) SSL overhead being "impractical"? Come on. You can use SSL on the browser today; there is no perceptible speed difference. I agree that client certs may be impractical, but it won't be because the XO can't handle the computation.
b) Many of the customization issues mooted are just as possible to implement using firefox extensions as they are using the current Browse strategy. Even simplified UI is pretty trivial to implement; see http://lifehacker.com/software/firefox/geek-to-live--consolidate-firefoxs-chrome-210542.php for example. The real question to me is whether there are size (memory & nand) disadvantages to Firefox. Othewise it's just a practical problem of finding enough resources to implement a Firefox extension to match the current Browse functionality. --scott -- ( http://cscott.net/ ) _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
