[General] Open Source application from the future: Ubiquity by Mozilla

[bashar abdullah]

Majed: I am surprised you can live without AJAX really :). God bless you if
you can do it.
Bashar: I see your point about the addons. It's a tradeoff at the end. I own
PC Windows (Hope that doesn't mean evitable hell), MacBook Pro, and Linux @
work :)

Chrome is an open source project being ported right now to Mac and later I
suppose to Linux. I hope they will open up for plugins as Firefox does.
However ppl dont treat Google product as real open source one not owned by
certain company, so I don't expect that heavy contribution.
