Why is a car reading RSS feeds?
The radio has an RSS reader with text-to-speech. You can tune into an RSS feed just as you would a radio station and it will read the stories to you one by one. A friend of mine owns a Leaf. I rode in it last month and he was showing off this feature. It was pretty cool to cruise down the highway listening to LWN.net stories.

For shame, Slashdot. This was a real opportunity for the site to hold on to its geek cred and be a part of something important and you missed out. I really like this site, but am scratching my head wondering why you aren't participating.
I also cannot wait for the release of "World of Warcraft: ACS:Law"!
But the bigger issue is that game studios, music companies and Hollywood still haven't seen the bigger picture.
That's a fascinating idea. Imagine if movie studios released their movies as a torrent but they were subtly edited improperly, such as having key scenes removed, or important plot points presented out of order. Someone who downloads and watches the movie either wouldn't understand the movie and have a dissatisfying experience, much like the people that illegally obtained the Batman game. Imagine watching The Matrix without the blue pill / red pill scene and Neo's subsequent removal from the Matrix. You'd be wondering later on how he got out of the Matrix. Or removing all scenes regarding the Oracle.
The studios could even film a second take of certain scenes with different dialog and plot points that mess up the move, then edit those in instead of the real scenes for the torrent.
I imagine it'll be a real surprise.
As noted above, we are concerned that a music themed gTLD will be used to enable wide scale copyright and trademark infringment
Your example gives the impression that I don't like tabs on top and that's not the case. I do like it. I'm not advocating going back to tabs-below style. I am not arguing about the placement of the controls. Please re-read my original post with that in mind.
The problem I have is that tabs group UI elements and objects together. If I modify objects within a specific group then only those objects in the group should be affected. It's confusing to to go another group (in this case a tab) and see that others were affected. The rest of the GUI for the OS doesn't work this where tabs are used. Take a look at something like the Windows display properties window or Gnome Nautilus preferences window.
None of the following has anything to do with my argument. I think you're discussing a separate subject but to point out something anyway...
Does that mean that if I click "reload", all tabs should be reloaded? If I enter a new URL, should all tabs go there, since the URL bar is outside the tabs as well?
If I select a file on my computer and click the delete button, should it delete all files? If I select a bit of text in my word processor and choose italic, should it make all of the text in the document italic?
The answer to all of these is "no" because we select objects and perform actions. In the browser a tab is always active. Clicking reload affects the selected tab in the same way as clicking delete affects the selected file. Where a control is placed doesn't change that.
Yeah, I'm excited about the final release. The web browser landscape is pretty awesome right now. I can't wait to see the final release. If only all my favorite add-ons will finish updating for 4.0.
Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for bringing me up to speed.
An adequate bootstrap is a contradiction in terms.
