What a gimmick for every flight simulation fan: Triplehead2Go. The computer only sees it as a 3840×1024 screen and the device splits the picture in three for three displays. With 19″ models not even that expensive: the device only costs 231 Euros and the three monitors around 600 all together.
For quite some time I was looking for a solution to embed the Gecko engine (which is used in Firefox to render the HTML pages) into Emacs buffers, more or less like it is possible with the w3m mode. But of course the latter is only text mode while Gecko would be graphics and therefore (maybe) more complicated. Anyway, somebody now did something in the other direction: an chrome implementation of an Emacs like user interface for Firefox 
Look here. It’s called Conkeror (no idea why. Konqueror is the KDE browser which existed long before this project was started) and replaces the Firefox GUI:
Now it only has to work on my machine. Not that I want to use it so eagerly, but it looks cool It is the same guy btw. who wrote ratpoison, a minimalistic Emacs like or GNU screen like window manager for X-Windows.
It really is high time for some open standard in online authorization. How many accounts does everybody have nowadays? Another account name, another stored password for every single website (if it’s another one anyway. Most of us will use their one and only password on every second site. That’s not what one calls security).
After those commercial tries like Microsoft’s Passwort, which are doomed to failure because they are not open (who wants to depend on a big company for authorization…), there is OpenId now. With financial backing of companies (get your bounty here), but still a completely open development model here.
That’s really cool and could change how we surf and use the web everyday. Crossing the fingers that it will succeed (and I can finally forget all my 57 account names and passwords). Also PmWiki will join the game soon hopefully.
