New web browser: SpaceTime
SpaceTime is an innovative three-dimensional search program that puts a unique spin on Internet searching. All results are displayed in a 3-D space that users can navigate and manipulate. SpaceTime presents all search results, shopping windows and browsing activity in a continuous 3-D stack that merges results to save time and improve browsing efficiency. It also stacks YouTube videos in a reel, lets you zoom in on Google and Yahoo pages, and lets you save the arrangement of web pages for later browsing. It’s a Windows-only application for the moment, and you’ll need a PC with at least 512MB of RAM and 128MB of video RAM to run it. You can also combine this with Bumptop to give you a whole new 3D environment desktop.

This is due to Google Chrome browser’s sandboxing feature and the operating system’s security measures together pose a formidable challenge. For full report you can check it out at Ars technica.
