Google Google has released an early version of Native Client, a framework designed to run portable x86 binaries inside a web browser - in a sandbox. Native Client also includes technologies that allow for easier communication between JavaScript and Native Client executables, which makes it possible for web applications to leverage native code when it comes to processor intensive tasks. This sounds eerily similar to Microsoft's ActiveX - one of the biggest security failures of the Windows operating system. Google insists, however, that Native Client is much, much more secure.

Native Client == NaCl == Sodium Chloride == table salt

Just a coincidence?

Or are they subtly trying to hint that someday this technology should be ubiquitous and bring extra flavor to every website?


And with this line of cryptogram the software will eventually stress out our systems and force us to get check ups and change our diets.

Only a percentage of people are classified as "sodium sensitive". But none of us can do without salt entirely. Think about it:

Really? Duh. If you take my post seriously then you miss the point of it.
