250 million just to design it according to the article. then a bucket load more. About 10 billion to build it.
And whats the chance it works. Elon Musk poo poo ed in his last interview 1 day ago on video.
this is great news.
I hope the operators DONT fragment it too much and that Mozilla have a plan for handling this aspect within their architecture.
Fragmentation is the one thing that could kill this effort
i hope they get the web intents stuff right. That will be vital.
YES. But now that the programming model is html5 based they loose their strangehold.
And also because its all just html5 with local storage API, then an app can be on any device.
So you can run it on a 100 dollar device too.
People will buy a win RT surface and love them. MS is trying to innovate on the hardware front and copy Apple. Google.
BUT; the programming model is no a block you in model. IOS and Android is a block you in model.
MS have been surprisingly nice to allow the html5 api. Sure its a little bit customised but then JavaScript adapter software will be open soruces and you wont be tied to winrt.
So this is all up bad news for MS and great news for consumers.
i look forward to FireFox OS and Boot to gecko taking off. All those apps written for windows will be able to run on boot to gecko.
Also there is this open hardware and software mesh.
open code that runs the mesh on git hub
https://github.com/cozybit/open80211s
The Social API is very active over at Github
https://github.com/mozilla/socialapi-dev
This could be installed on your phone with Fire OS and sync with your home box
If Mozilla included this as standard in Fire OS it would take off.
Especially if Fire OS can also be installed on your no name box at home too.

if the organisation or some other hardware company sold a super cheap board with open source federated social networking software on it and supported it they would do very well perhaps.
they are basically value adding.
its easy for people.
they buy the hardware, its delivered and they plug it in and then fill in a few details and thats it.
i really think this is the way to get it of the ground.
Raspberry Pi foundation of some other foundation can do this.
--
Other hardware makers will see it take off and can do the same.

Will there be forks by other hardware companies ? Sure there will.
But in order to be attractive to end users, people will buy a fork that is HTTP API compatible with the other forks.
I think one of the web standards is the Social API or something ??
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Labs/SocialAPI
If they dont, then there offering will be much less attractive.
Eventually things will just work,

i have been running this on my laptop for curiousity value.
it works very well, and writing new applications for it is very very easy because its just all web development with html, jsand css.
makes it very quick and easy.
also webgl works. Unlike Iphone and android.
i actually think that this will be big, but take time for people to appreciate it.
for companies and startups its hell getting android and iphone apps out, but with this is easy peasy.
the main thing will be that cordova (phone gap) support it, so that people can write in web technologies and still deploy to android, iphone and firefox os easily
i imagine someone will scan the physical book and combine it with the pictures online and put it on pirate bay, and then email all the students.

Cold Fusion / Low Energy Nuclear Reactions.
There are many companies moving towards commercialisation.
Both large system and small decentralised systems for homes.
Japan could lead the world and make a fast and rapid rollout of this technology, and bypass all the others and have close to free energy costs.
price ?
those are very old ARM cpus inthose.
You want to look out the newer ones coming up.
use ccleaner.
its free and works very well at removing anything.
I like this guy . An Engineer applying the principle he learnt in his trade to his life.
wait. There is an OPenCL implementation for video encoding and decoding.
Lawrence Radiation Laboratory keeps all its data in an old gray trunk.
