    For less money you can get a ReplayTV. It has some truly wonderful programming features, and you can tie it into your home network with DVArchive and Personal ReplayGuide (both open source). I can stream ReplayTV programs to my PC and back again. It's the best entertainment purchase I've ever made. Check it out at http://www.replay.com (but buy from Amazon - it's $50 cheaper!).

    Mozilla is dying

    Mozilla faces a bleak future. In fact there may be no future at all for Mozilla because Mozilla is dying. Things are looking very bad for Mozilla. As many of us are already aware, Mozilla continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood. Camino is perhaps the most endangered. Let's look at the numbers.

    Mozilla leader Asa states that there are 7000 users of Mozilla. How many users of Firebird are there? Let's see. The number of Mozilla versus Firebird entries in Bugzilla is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 Firebird users. Camino entries in Bugzilla are about half of the volume of Firebird entries. Therefore there are about 700 users of Camino. A recent article put the Mozilla browser at about 80 percent of the Mozilla market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 Camino users. This is consistent with the number of Camino bugs.

    Due to the troubles of Netscape, abysmal sales and so on, Netscape went out of business and was taken over by AOL who sell another troubled service.

    All marketing surveys show that Mozilla has steadily declined in market share. Mozilla is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If Mozilla is to survive at all it will be among web hobbyists, dabblers, and dilettantes. Mozilla continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, Mozilla is dead.
