brainstamp as web browser

Brainstamp now became web browser. At the moment browsing technique is very much different from other browsers,
and interface is very experimental. We need help of users/ designers at this stage to improve its look and arrange things on the interfaxe in the most ergonomic way. But it is already good for reading texts from news sites.

0.5.* releases

Starting from version 0.5.4 brainstamp while keeping all its fast reader functionality turns gradually into web browser. Totally
new navigation widget (+ some navigation buttons) is added, and not local and remote files are organized into single tree. The
navigation system is still experimantal and some new functions seem to be required. But the most important thing is that brainstamp
from now on is web browser.

first public release

The utility for those who have to browse long texts or likes to
read books on-line.

Instead of scrolling text in a window, the program shows consecutively words one by one in a window (do not forget to set a comfortable font). The speed may be set manually, but should be really fast.

This way of "diagonal" reading is 3-4 times faster then normal one, but is quite tiresome without a habit. As soon as you acquire the habit, it becomes really efficient since the text is
well memorized: seems if dives straight to under-consience.
