Mozilla & Gecko clones You may have thought Mozilla could not open up beyond its current state, but you may be wrong: Aza Raskin, Mozilla Labs' UX Lead and Sebastiaan de With, a freelance icon designer, have completely opened up the process of designing a new logo for Mozilla Ubiquity. The second round of conceptual exploration has just started, and the popular vote is very welcome on the blog or in the comments. What's your favorite concept, and why?

Tied into services?

It seems like a great idea, but I wonder how tightly tied into specific services it would be? For example, when looking up maps, I'm assuming it's using Google Maps? I know many people prefer Mapquest.

If you wanted information on a movie, either dvd or theatre, where would it pull the information from? The reason I ask, is that many people use a *lot* of different services for different things. For example, me personally, I like Google's email and search, Yahoo's movies, Mapquest, IMDB, MSN's Stock, etc. Would you be able to select what service it uses, or will it mostly be tied in with one or two providers?
