This seems to be connected with the ManyOne project, which appears to 
be the combination of some sort of ISP services, a multimedia 
reference site to come, and a Web browser that is adapted from 
Mozilla.  The browser is downloadable from their site now, but in a 
brief trial of it I didn't observe any obvious features setting it 
apart from the Mozilla suite it's adapted from.  Its web site is hype-
laden, reminiscent of the dot-com insanity of around 2000, with more 
enthusiasm than solid facts.  Supposedly, their site will be more 
multimedia-enhanced than other reference sites, and their browser 
will be ideal for viewing it (somehow), but as of now there doesn't 
seem to be anything but promotional videos.
