Netscape Turns 10

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Wednesday October 13, 2004 @03:45PM from the almost-a-teenager dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Today marks ten years since the first public beta of Netscape Navigator was released. Both CNet News.com and MozillaZine have full coverage, with the former revealing that AOL is planning to release a new version Netscape in the New Year (thankfully separate from the IE-based version of AOL's browser). Even the Netscape portal (which never mentions the Netscape browser) is celebrating the anniversary. A lot of water has passed under the bridge in the last decade (especially since AOL bought Netscape) and the baton has now passed onto the Netscape alumni-filled Mozilla Foundation, but it's still worth remembering that Netscape changed the world not once (by making the first really good browser), but twice (by being the first major commercial program to go open source)."

I posted this to Slashdot 12 hours ago and it was rejected. But now that every other site on the planet is carrying it, suddenly it's an important story. So much for independent thinking.
What a bunch of knuckleheads!

  That's just the way the Slashdot system works, buddy - centralised control for a better experience for all. If you're interested in a more free-as-in-freedom-for-all experience, try the alternatives. [/shameless plug]
