Netscape Founder Says Web Browsing Innovation Dead

Posted by timothy on from the 640k dept.

mattOzan writes "Marc Andreessen told Reuters today that browser innovation ended five years ago (which would put us at about Navigator 4.5 beta -- what was so innovative about that? The "What's Related" button? Beatnik integration?) "Navigation is an embarrassment. Using bookmarks and back and forth buttons -- we had about eighteen different things we had in mind for the browser." Well, pass me the NDA and tell me what they were!"

    Have you ever been to the NorthWest ~?
    Yes, you are right: microbrews rock.

    I am currently serving time in the South, and that means Bud Light, Miller Lite, and Pabst Blue Ribbon are the majority swill here. If I am lucky, I can get some interesting brews in the local supermarket (usually when Enis messes up the monthly ordering at the Piggly Wiggly over on Rural Route 17).

    Yeah, right.
