Re: sudo

chown / chmod for me as well .

Windows 8 running windows apps and no win32 apps is close... Android has
some features.. So there is movement in this direction from the private
sector.  Plenty of movement in terms of "device owner" granting
capabilities , UIs granting them and removing ambient authority ( more by
going to shared nothing)  but not much in terms of sharing capabilities to
access shared servers/ services.

I don't expect to see a main stream ocap Unix  unless FreeBsd which uses
capsicum gets up. Too hard for apps/opensource to make the revolutionary
change in API needed.

With regard to how hard it is to change Apis it is worth watching Microsoft
efforts here  with WindowsRT ( Modern now Windows apps)  vs Win32 and the
difficulty of ocaps for service apps as opposed to Gui apps.  The main
efforts so far （ while still requiring apps to be rewritten) do not create
a fundamental conceptual shift , but shared services sharing caps do
require it  and i have seen nothing here.

There was a big event at Stanford
https://www.whitehouse.gov/issues/foreign-policy/cybersecurity/summit with
no mention in the agenda of capabilities.  Though fido authentication looks
interesting if the standard gets up
https://fidoalliance.org/specifications/overview/  .
