Cross-browser implementation of navigator.msLaunchUri

Microsoft’s navigator.msLaunchUri method only works in Internet Explorer on Windows 8. Therefore I came up with a (nearly) cross-browser implementation that uses the native msLaunchUri when it’s available and falls back to adventurous hacks when running in other browsers.

Description

launchUri (uri, successCallback, noHandlerCallback, unknownCallback)

Ideas

I have collected and moderated these ideas from various public sources and put into one place so that problem solvers and solution developers may find inspirations. Because I wish to update it regularly, I have setup as a single page wiki. You may try these ideas on hackathons/competitions/research; some are quite intense problems and some are not. Many of the problems were prepared keeping Dhaka/Bangladesh in mind, but of course can be applied to just about any underdeveloped/developing and sometimes developed countries.
