As #7 correctly pointed out: "Not everyone on the planet is an affluent techno-obsessed techcrunch reader like yourselves" this if ever is most certainly true for your average cybercafe visitor. So how exactly is a concept like webOS which hasnt been able to gain any significant traction amongst the early-adopter-tech-junkie-crowd going to have an appeal to those people? Social Networking for cybercafe visitors? Yeah great theese ppl (for whichever reasons) dont own a pc (or at at least no internet connection). What makes you think theyre gonna spend much time & effort building their profile pages and socialising online? Filesharing for cybercafe visitors? Now which files exactly would that be? Obviously im missing something, anybody able/care to explain to me how this is gonna work? Now… is it just me or does anyone else see a fatal flaw in the concept?

Ditto, how lame. I always wondered why some startup doesn't take an open source flash based VNC client http://www.google.com/search?q=flash+VNC+client+open+source Then do a bunch of virtual /home directories on an ubuntu box? You know like Plesk and Ensim do? Then people could access the desktop via the flash VNC to the chroot jailed /home like in /home/chrootjail/username That way people could have access to a REAL operating system via the web and not just javascript and AJAX crap. THAT would be a winning idea! BTW, if you take it, I am looking for a better side job in SF in June/July so hire me as a dev. “people actually use cybercafe’s?”
