Massive wi-fi mesh? In fact, India already does something very similar for a very long time.

Isn't it great that so many of our mobiles already have wi-fi hardware!?

Just a quick note for clarification, only gecko 1.9.2 and firefox built on that version of gecko (firefox 3.6?) will lack support for 2000 and xp. The development (3.5) and current version (3) will likely still be supported and still receive updates.

I actually agree with this move - it adds time/bloat/etc for each platform you want to support. By choosing to drop some of the less used platforms, assuming by then xp won't be used much, you can really save on development time/etc.

The industries are hardly failed. Perhaps 'failing', but even failing might be too strong a word.

The 'failed' status is propaganda spread by those industries so that they don't have to change with the times. We shouldn't be reinforcing their marketing.
