Mozilla Unveils Aurora Concept Browser 213
Barence writes "Mozilla has unveiled a spectacular new concept browser, dubbed Aurora. The bleeding-edge browser is part of a new Mozilla Labs initiative, in which the open-source foundation is encouraging people to contribute ideas and designs for the browser of the future. The Aurora browser demonstration shows a highly advanced way of collaborating data gathered on the web, and represents a spectacular introduction to the new Mozilla Labs, which much like Google Labs looks to become a home for offbeat projects which would otherwise probably never see the light of day. More details, and a video demonstration, are on the Mozilla Labs site."

Adaptive Path designed Aurora with Mozilla (Score:5, Informative)
Setting aside the gushing tone of the submitter's post, Aurora is Adaptive Path's first open source design project and collaboration with Mozilla -- it's not all Mozilla.
Adaptive Path team designers and members discuss the design process extensively and in detail on their blog. More details in the Firehose [slashdot.org]

A quick scan of TFA doesn't reveal the heritage of Aurora, but the emphasis on web publishng vs viewing, and even the name, both immediately bring to mind the (ancient, but continuously updated) W3C editor/browser Amaya:

It is different than folders/directories. It is better. You don't have to know any hierarchy before tagging something. As you indirectly point out, it can have multiple tags, and really it is a helper to SEARCH. It can help organize things for sure, and I find it more useful, ultimately, because it is not hierarchical. But it is not the same as folders/directories.
It really is more like throwing everything on the floor, except you have a magic tool to grab any item you want, so long as you have the right incantation to retrieve it.

That, and the kitchen sink.
Maybe Songbird is what you want, although it's not ready yet.

Correction: Firefox WAS called Firebird, then changed after the database collision was noticed. And this was AFTER changing the name from Phoenix because of the BIOS manufacturer.

What the heck is up with that 3-D mouse? Is Mozilla supposed to invent that?
It has already been invented:
