Google pays $140 Million a year to Firefox to be the search default. Given the choice, I believe they would prefer to keep the $140 Million and just have people use Chrome.

Yes. Use an Android device with Chrome. Most users are stuck with whatever came from the phone. iPhone far outperforms in terms of % upgrades. http://developer.android.com/resources/dashboard/platform-ve...

There is a difference between direct and indirect patent infringement. Google provides the Android source, but the companies that are being sued are directly infringing by selling and distributing products based on these patents. http://en

Social is too important for one company to control the market. This is a great start for Google+, but Google is fighting with one arm behind their back given the network effects of Facebook.

I was pretty certain that Opera's reported score couldn't be that bad. I am definitely very suprised. Overall, I have to say, I am a huge fan of having these thorough tests come to web standards. So that browsers can't just say "We support

That's a good point. It would be interesting to get a read on the latest Aurora builds. I might install it and do it later today.

Some of the most interesting work is only hinted at in the blog. IE 10 PP2 now leads on EcmaScript standards conformance. IE 10 only fails 7 tests compared to 200 for Firefox 5 out of a total of 10000 tests. I don't use Opera, but according

On the Mozilla technology page http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/technology/ it specifically calls out ES5 support. There is no qualifier, so I am assuming that they believe they are fully supporting it. Your argument about Intranet ap

The core issue is this - enterprises can reduce testing and maintenance costs for their internal apps because they can control and standardize their browser enviroment. Sites that cater to users at large (like a yahoo) have no control over

It's not about cutting edge or not cutting edge. The same inconsistencies are present in implementations for all the major specifications. It's worse in most cases as there aren't fully built out tests, so it's even more difficult to conver

This was not the best way to ease users into the new Firefox versioning and the associated benefits. If there had been something subtantial in 5, it might have worked. But it seemed more like an update for the sake of versioning. They could

Buy an iPod Touch and use VOIP over WiFi for calling. You probably have WiFi coverage at home and at work. What you are really paying for is the inbetween places. If those don't matter, then you are all set.

I am not sure that is true any more. As an example. Run something like Test 262( http://test262.ecmascript.org/ ) which is the official test suite for JavaScript 5 and you'll see how many compatibilitiy issues there are just for this single

Agree Facebook is the player that could be a serious competitor to Skype. But their strategy would indicate that they wouldn't implement federation. They would create their own closed system. Facebook is all about growing the value of their

Technology is only one part of a solution. And in this case arguably a small one. The reason people use Skype is because all other people are on there. It's also synonymous with voice and video calling. Owning a "position" is an other impor
