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?

not something i want to use

This isn't something that i'd want to use.

trying to talk to my computer is just annoying. seeing what I am doing is much better then just telling the computer what to do. What i mean by this isn't what the video is showing.

For example, when the video shows adding event to calender. I much prefer to look at mine before adding any slots just to be sure there aren't going to be times where things have a possiblity for overrun or where I may need a timeout (or not) depending on the event, such as a known problem client. And by look at it, I want to see at least a day view with hour by hour.

Also, I don't think everyone explains things in the same way, and I know this is what most of its about but there are still keywords, such as 'map-this' thats not english, its a command word.

There are people who'll give much more detail, such as 'show me a map of all the locations I've selected' where other people will just say 'where are these?'

The first is pretty limiting to what the program needs to find and show, but the later can be from what sites they're from, the location of the links on a map .etc

they aim to use scripts, while this is great if they're kept upto date with the sites they're designed to work with, when sites change and scripts need updating or users have to find new scripts to sites/services, then it just seems like more effort then is needed.

Good luck to them though, certainly seems like a start on AI computing.
