A380 Seatback is Mozilla-Based...

mconnor tells me that the A380 seatback entertainment system whose usability I criticised recently is based on Mozilla. That puts my criticisms of its poor UI responsiveness in a rather different light... :-( But I guess we don't need to take responsibility for the poor interaction design.

Very cool. Is there any information online about this? (I guess I could Google around a bit...). We should add it to the Mozilla-based Applications page if we can verify it.

It could be the hardware spec :)

Or bad programming on their part. I've seen some bad Javascript bring multiple browsers to their knees.

Bad usability is bad usability, irrespective of what technology you use to achieve it.
