A co-worker of mine has a theory (don't we all?):

The Others all have some sort of "power" and that is why they like Locke, he seems to have the power to heal. Richard has the power of long life (immortality). Ben has the power of telekinesis (thats how he manifested his mother as a child). But he's going nuts and in fact "created" jacob. In other words there is no Jacob, it is just Ben being crazy. That is why they really wanted Walt as well.

Not a well fleshed out theory, but has some interesting points.

I wonder if Richard is part of some group who crashed on the island years ago (like on the Black ship?)... Just how long has he been there?

I was discussing this earlier with Peewee that Richard could be hundreds of years old...I mean he might of been around since the days of the toe statue...

Everything fits except the Jacob part. I still think Jacob is a real person. The writers have said that Jacob is a real person in the podcast haven't they? Rappy, help me out here :p

Yeah they said just because he wasnt credited doesnt mean he doesnt exist and as we saw last night in some extent there he was but why was he invisible and how can he make a whole house shake...

You see my theory and take it for whats its worth is that Jacob is a Hostile always has been looking at his clothes it fits that and for the whole time he has been gifted with a power and no other hostile has so it makes him special so he is the leader but seeing as Ben saw his dead mother and maybe noone else can see Jacob then its only Bens vision....tho Alex said Locke may need a gun....christ I am confused....I want answers!!!

Jack also thought he was seeing his dad, Locke saw Boone, Eko saw Yemmi, Shannon and Sayid saw Walt (though he isn't dead), Hurley saw Dave, though I'm still not sure if that was Hurley going nuts or seeing things like other people saw, Kate and Sawyer saw the horse, though they could touch it (and it was likely the same horse that the black woman whom Mickael shot rode).

There may be something to the idea of special people having gifts of some sort. Walt possibly has a gift of imaging something being there and *poof*, it's there. It was also asked if Walt was seen elsewhere on the island. Walt also communicated to his dad at the computer... let us not forget that!

Ahhh I want more answers too!

I just think it is totally bad ass that Uncle Rico is Ben's dad :)

He is also the same guy who played Lazlo Hollyfeld in Real Genius

Oh so that's where i remember him from! How much you wanna make a bet he could have thrown a football over them mountains? :p Horace was also the guy from Green Mile.

Good episode though. then ending was so shocking that i got straight onto messenger to get some info from Rappy!

      I agree. I also think Phil stayed too long. They should definitely fire whoever thought all a console platform needed was Call of Duty, Elder Scrolls, and Fallout to survive. Asha and crew are still saying they need more Elder Scrolls and Fallout games. They simply don't get it.

    • Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap

      Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap by Sayan Sen Last month Mozilla confirmed that Firefox was set to get a major redesign this year. Dubbed "Project Nova", it can already be tested and will roll out to all users later this year.The idea is to keep the browser competitive in a rapidly evolving internet landscape. As such the revamp focuses on improving privacy, usability, performance, accessibility, and customization. Key privacy features including the built-in VPN, private browsing mode, and Enhanced Tracking Protection, will be more visible and easier to manage, while users will have the option to disable AI features entirely through a dedicated kill switch. Additionally, the redesign promises faster page loading, the return of Compact mode, expanded personalization options, and stronger accessibility support. You can find the full details in the dedicated piece linked above. In a new blog post today the company once again reiterated on Nova and also emphasized other new and upcoming features like the settings revamp that is intended to make it easier for users to understand browser settings. In order to make it simpler for users to keep up with such features Mozilla today is launching Firefox roadmap. Hence enthusiasts and interested users will be able to check out what's cooking and also share feedback about the upcoming additions. Alongside the roadmap announcement, Mozilla also highlighted what's new in Firefox 152. One of the biggest additions is the arrival of Tab Groups on Android. The feature, which has already been helping desktop users organize large numbers of tabs, is now beginning to roll out on mobile. Users will be able to group related tabs together, assign names and colors to them, and return to them later. Mozilla says support for iOS will arrive later this year. Firefox 152 also introduces the aforementioned redesigned Settings experience. The company says the changes are meant to make controls easier to find and help users discover features they may not have previously known about. Existing preferences are not changing, though they are now better organized. Another notable addition is the new Blocked Tracker Widget, which provides a visual overview of Firefox's privacy protections by showing how many trackers have been blocked over time and the types of tracking activity the browser has stopped. Looking ahead, Mozilla revealed several upcoming roadmap features. They include customizable keyboard shortcuts, as well as enhanced PDF editing tools that will allow documents to be split, merged, and reorganized directly within Firefox. The company is also working on bringing Multi-Account Containers into the native Firefox experience thus removing the need for a separate extension. Meanwhile Firefox's built-in VPN is set to expand to mobile devices. Mozilla is also developing AI-powered features like Quick Answers, which can provide concise responses to voice queries, and Smart Window, its optional AI browsing experience that is now available without a waitlist. Finally, a new Power Saving Mode is in the works and will help reduce the impact of resource-heavy tabs on mobile devices in order to extend battery life. The video below summarizes the upcoming changes in an easy to understand format: You can find the announcement blog post here on Mozilla's official website.

      Dead on arrival at that price. Like they missed the mark by multiple hundreds of dollars - this should actually undercut the Macbook Air at $899 if they want any sort of sales / further adoption of WoA
