Comment Re:registered-only list. (Score 1) 51

There is no need for an explicit database; this problem is trivial to solve with cryptographic signatures. We already do the same thing for wireless networks, it's in the 802.11 protocol.

Of course, this only stops casual spoofers: if a three-letter agency is tracking you, they can kindly ask the Telco to give them the private key, exactly like they can ask to be included in the database.

Comment Tabs or bookmarks? (Score 1) 29

At this point it seems people are using tabs as if they were bookmarks. What is an "unloaded tab" if not a glorified bookmark, in the end?

Maybe in the future we are going to see a shift to a UI where the two concepts are merged; exactly like in mobile OSes we don't have a separate concept for the icon of a running app.
