This could be great on the news I didn't even think of that. Instead of that stupid bar that goes across the bottom of the screen for most news channels instead have a selection of different tabs using this technology to display several stories at once. That is actually the best use of this software I can imagine.
Its a funny thing - if someone asks me what I am reading they mean books - and half the time I'm not. In reality, however, I read for untold hours every day - just on the net.
If I think about my reading the following would probably be usefully improved with this tech:
Email.
Any TL;DR post on this site.
The BBC news site.
The Guardian newspaper.
Any scientific paper linked to from there.
Nature magazine (some of those articles can really drag).
Scientific American.
CNET
Usually that lot takes me from about 7 am to 8:30. I skip quite a lot of things due to lack of time - usually hoping to come back to them later which I rarely do.
When I get back on in the evening (usually) its much the same story.
I'd use this tech to skip less and probably on just about all of the above.
Books? Probably not - I like reading books and want to savour them - which I am bad at anyway - if I get into a book I can't put it down till its finished. A Suitable Boy took 36 hours - that's 1500 pages - its so big the author actually apologises to the reader in the forward for the wrist strain.
I was OK with it - for some reason my wrist is really strong....
