ovitters, where does Greg reply about binder? On Google+ perhaps? I see no comment on his blog. The H Online does discuss Android intents but not binder specifically. It should be possible to support an intents interface with D-Bus, so it's not clear (and perhaps not yet decided) what solution is contemplated by those who discussed IPC at the Gnome Developer Experience event.
search for binder. Took a couple of seconds to google it.
What about binder?

Thanks, rahulsundaram. I wanted to make sure I read the same comments as everyone else and wasn't sure whether G+ was what ovitters referred to.

Just hope that this doesn't *bind* many novices out of Linux permanently (concretely in desktop)
One of the main motives for kernel Dbus for now is "Linux Apps"(it will have many more for sure)... but i definitely don't like the model at all...too much sandboxing you end up sandboxing the user out lol...
To me it would be much better to implement "capabilities" in the style of EROS http://www.eros-os.org/eros.html
..portal or bind only what shouldn't definitely be allowed, but that the FS permissions and ACL already do... so its a duplication... it could have minimal additional usability, but definitely this shouldn't be a "police OS", or it will became so secure that nobody could use it for desktop, specially there, where users make a lot of mistakes and crazy things that should be allowed to do and that don't pose any considerable security risk.
The masses are ignorant of this tech wonders... they aren't as savvy or seasoned developers as you gentlemen.

Sorry, should've been clearer. I meant the comments at Google+.
