Should not ownership of data belong to the individual (her mom having access to all her data till she is 18 is unreasonable). At least the individuals must have some means to make private, data she deems fit. Currently everyone has ownership (in part, if you do not consider companies owning data) of their own data and no one (inclusive of parents) can access it.

Maybe a few general remarks I have on the project:

Aurora is a great concept! But, personally I think that the user interface is much to complicated, don’t get me wrong, to divide the content in to groups is a terrific idea, but it also makes a mess of things (you can compare it to someone’s desk with piles of documents), from time to time you need a way to clean this up or reorganise it into clean piles.

Aurora also needs to be compatible with devices like smarthphones, I believe!

It’s sure a great project with a lot of possibilities and I am curious to see more of this in the future!

I often give my computer the finger, because I’m so pissed off at how the programs are behaving. I suspect a number of users will be giving their new browser the finger when it doesn’t work the way or as fast as they want.

Please consider giving some useful meaning to the browser detecting someone giving it the finger. (Just because it’s rude doesn’t mean it doesn’t have meaning :).
