AOL to Release Netscape 7.2 Based on Mozilla 1.7

securitas writes "ZDNet's Evan Hansen reports that AOL will release Netscape Navigator 7.2 based on Mozilla 1.7 code this summer. The update comes a year after version 7.1 and after Microsoft stopped standalone development in Internet Explorer. eWEEK's Matt Hicks offers analysis of the new Netscape release, citing studies that say while Microsoft has a 93.9% browser market share and 87% of business users use IE, 25% still use Netscape and 11% use Opera -- the math works because people use multiple browsers. Hicks asks the question 'Is the Netscape Browser Being Reborn or Just Stabilized?' Hicks interviews several people in the know including a former Netscape engineer, an industry analyst, and Opera Software CEO Jon von Tetzchner."

    LASTMEASURE: THE TRUE OPEN SOURCE ALTERNATIVE
    Zeikfried - Gnaa, Nigeria.
    In a world where one can get classed as +5, informative for simply being able to use google, and +5 funny for out and out slander against the Microsoft corporation, one could be forgiven for branding the elitist unfunny world of slashdot, and yes, the open source community as a whole, as a floundering stagnating mess.
    But in spite of the high cretin concentration throughout open source, but all is not yet lost, for there is a small highly skilled team of individuals determined to utilise the full potenial that this community offers, the dynamic darkies of the Gay Nigger Associaton of America.

    "This is degenerative behaviour, please stop." is the rallying cry for many in the OSDN camp (now a partly owned subsidiary of the KKK). But what IS LastMeasure? And how did it come to provoke such furious bouts of procrastination and anal masturbation among the forced celibates that bless our members with their -1, troll crowns? Reporter for Reuters Nigeria, and 4 time winner of the Golden Sphincter, Gary Niger, was sent in to investigate.
    "I must say I was pleasently surprised", enthused Gary with his trademark lisp. "I expected a band of negro savages, or worse still, a sourceforge project. But what I found was a group of individuals determined to help spread their ideals of sodomy and niggerdom to the masses, and I must say, though it flys in the face of my trademark press neutrality, I was instantly hooked."
    "But of course, in spite of my new found taste for the holy nigger seed, I would not deviate from my task of reporting the facts on LastMeasure. And it is, quite simply, nigtastic. Penisbird and goat-see have lovingly hand-crafted a javascript masterpiece, a triumph for capitalism, as readers of the communist open source "bastion" slashdot now have their gay porno viewing habits broadcasted to their colleagues and classmates, hopefully this will encourage them to finally stop eating and start working, and get their worthless jobs back from the curry eaters. Godspeed GNAA."

    With LastMeasure (currently at version 3.3), the proud patriots of the GNAA have dealt a crippling blow to the communist practices of the google toolbar and it's anti-american ways of blocking the victory of capitalism and the free market over terrorism.

    With LastMeasure, the dying world of the internet shock site has gained new vigour, allowing the benevolent rulers of our collective digital universe, Bob Goatse and Tubgirl, to be brought to many desktops throughout /.

    Wherever there is an unpatched YaBB clone fleecing money off ill-prepared webadmins. There is LastMeasure.

    Wherever there is a poorly prepared IRC server being used as a shell for the important task of bringing camwhoring and masturbation to the free world. There is LastMeasure.

    Wherever GNU/Linux is not being used to its FULL POTENTIAL. There is LastMeasure.

    Wherever a +5 is struck on the head of those who would use it against the greater good. There is LastMeasure.

    Whenever these ENEMIES OF FREEDOM gather, there will be LastMeasure, and the proudly gay negros of the Gay Nigger Association of America, your TRUE OPEN SOURCE ALTERNATIVE.

    FAQ:

    Q. I am a proud supporter of open source, and would like to be a regular user of LastMeasure. However I can't seem to gain the full effect of your wonderful software, what could I be doing wrong?
    A. While your zealotism is most welcome, it would appear that you are using the incorrect browser. Firefox and Opera are both major offenders, the GNAA recommend the Microsoft(TM) corporations Internet Explorer(TM) to halt the spread of communism, and to be able to use our software
