Are there any initiatives to implement/agree upon a standard API for connectivity between web browsers and client hardware. Example: The iPhone has a GPS/Camera/Accellerometer in it. It'd be very cool if my web app could communicate with them (rather than me having to write a thick ObjectiveC application). ...
The title says it all: Are there any secure alternatives to XDMCP (A Linux remote desktop protocol)? I'd like to set up some thin clients -- UI heads (old computer + mouse + keyboard) connected to VMs on a fast server. ssh -Y doesn't quite cut it, since this would be for non-savvy computer users.

I am currently in need of help for brainstorming for some ideas.

At first I thought about X Window System which I heard to be capable of transmitting GLX commands to the thin-client (X server.. from now on under "client" I'll mean client ...
What options exist for identifying the client name of a particular client from within the process running on Citrix Presentation 4.0, or Xenapp 5, and are there any important differences in retrieving this information in either scenario? Currently my software is a client that connects to a service on a server, and the primary means of i...

I am now being asked to investigate a thin client web-application for this tool. I have been looking into Javascript libraries such as ExtJS ...
I have a web app using thin clients (bosanova terminals) as the front end for users. I've noticed some performance differences in JavaScript between the thin client and a PC. The terminals are running windows XP embedded with IE6, and the pages I'm referring to are utilizing prototype JS framework to do some rather simple validation on...
