Wave protocol was designed from the ground up to be decentralized ("multiple-source" if you will, "federated" in wave jargon). Just like email. Initially only two wave servers were available (GoogleWave for the public, and GoogleWaveSandbox for developers). Currently, those two are down, but others have appeared (e.g. waveinabox.net and many private wave servers, like mine).

When PC Ports of Console Games Go Wrong 398

A post up at Gamasutra complains about the lack of effort put into the PC ports of some console games. The author picks on the unimpressively-reviewed Ninja Blade in particular: "Just as a quick guide to what we're dealing with here: when you create a new save file at the start of Ninja Blade on the PC, it warns you not to 'turn off your console.' Yes, Ninja Blade is one of those conversions: not so much converted as made to perfunctorily run on a different machine. In-game, you're asked to press A, B, X and Y in various sequences as part of Ninja Blade's extraordinary abundance of quick-time events. Whether you have an Xbox 360 pad plugged in or not, the game captions these button icons with text describing the PC equivalent controls. Only it doesn't always do that. Sometimes, you're left staring at a giant, pulsating, green letter A, and no idea what to do with it." What awful ports have you had the misfortune to experience?

Now they want a browser? Why? What reason would they need for a new browser? So instead of putting full support behind a 'generic' Firefox, they want to enter the market so they can gather even more information from the user.

Why would you not want another alternative open source browser?

They'll still contribute heaps of money to Mozilla for at least 3 more years, so why shouldn't the open source community be happy about this announcement?
