The Web Of The Future with Mozilla's New Aurora Browser

Story by The Channel Wire

The mad scientists at Mozilla went back into the lab after releasing Firefox 3 and have cooked up something that may be even more impressive. Teaming up with Adaptive Path, Mozilla wants to introduce the Aurora concept browser.

Aurora was designed with the intent of creating what the Web of the future will look like. Featuring an integrated Web and desktop environment, Aurora functions in three dimensions on the desktop.

The Aurora concept browser is part of the recently launched Mozilla Labs initiative. Keeping to its open-source roots, Mozilla is throwing open the doors for contributors to work with their teams to help shape the direction of the Web.

"Today we're calling on industry, higher education and people from around the world to get involved and share their ideas and expertise as we collectively explore and design future directions for the Web," states the Mozilla Labs blog.

"Our goal is to bring even more people to the table and provoke thought, facilitate discussion, and inspire future design directions for Firefox, the Mozilla project, and the Web as a whole."

In a video released on the Mozilla's Blog, the Aurora concept web browser is demonstrated in the interactions between two people working in separate offices who are surfing the Web at the same time. At first, Aurora seems to be a normal browser as Jill looks for the latest Cubs score. Alan, in a different location, sends Jill a text message and the two of them begin discussing rainfall for their farms.

Then things really start to look different...

Why do we need both?  After mentoring Start-Ups from pre-revenue to achieving at least S$1M in revenues since 2012 and supporting growing Small-Medium Enterprises within the S$4M to S$10M range revenues, whose leadership teams are stuck in their day to day operational matters and fire-fighting, I hear these questions frequently.  My response: A  strategic plan  outlines your Vision, Mission, Core Values to build the Culture with high-level goals for the next 3 to 5 years. It also takes into account how you’ll measure those goals, and the major projects you’ll take on to meet them. An  operational plan  (also known as a  work plan ) is an outline of what each of your business d...
