Users can also sync browsing sessions between devices—either an entire browser window or a singular tab—allowing them to use multiple devices for the same browsing session seamlessly

We had a similar idea, but didn't follow through. Here are some non-obvious use cases that you may find interesting
- Price comparison for the same item at different local stores - Localized demand estimation for brands - Referrals for items not available in the traditional distribution model (eg. Organic/Handmade goods)

good thing is unca Sam doesn't have a monopoly for indian arms contracts. India's arms contracts are spread across Russia, France, Israel, USA. And quite a lot of indigenisation is in progress.

Re:Ask HN:Why should I read science fiction?
on Sunday December 15, 2013 @02:12AM (#6908660)
Because Sci-Fiction throws a lot of insight into the future, into a life influenced by different dimensions, into a life with various social and economic alternatives. Over the years many innovations have been influenced by Sci-Fi novels. Incidents from books like 1984 have come totally true in various countries.

IMHO, Groklaw's activities have laid a good pattern that can be followed for disrupting the legal industry. Some effects of the disruption could be
- interesting cases using crowd sourcing to aid discovery
- finding economical and effective lawyers made simple
- decreasing tolerance for frivolous complaints
Similar things could be done in the Health industry as well
