The goal was to use more machines, fewer people, and to design processes so that the people were interchangeable, low cost and easily replaced. The more leverage the factory-owner had, the better.

WebSlices can help popularize feed syndication
via Jon Udell by Jon Udell on March 04, 2008
With the release of the first public beta of Internet Explorer 8, two new features come to light: Activities and WebSlices. You can see a demo of both in Joshua Allen’s interview with Jane Kim. I think of Activities as next-generation bookmarklets, and also as kissing cousins to the OpenSearch providers that you can add to the browser’s search box.WebSlices are something else again. They...
