Google Planning Web Browser?
Kick the Donkey writes "John Dvorak has just posted a very interesting, albeit hypothetical, analysis of Google's future directions. Citing the 'unusual' hires of Rob Pike (from Bell labs), Ben Goodger, and Darin Fisher (both from Mozilla) and the acquisition of the gbrowser.com domain, Dvorak speculates that a Firefox based Google browser and Google-OS may soon be coming to a cluster near you."
Clearly the "browser war" is back on and Internet Explorer is clearly the loser of the bunch. With so many great choices like FireFox, Opera, Safari for OS X and now an offering from Google (as well as assorted and high quality offerings from assorted OSS projects) maybe it is time to admit that the browser is not part of the OS, pull IE out and at the same time reduce your security issues significantly? If you like this idea please feel free to use it without giving me any credit, the extra time off for I.T. staffers everywhere will be thanks enough.
Both this story and the last were dupes of dupes of...
/. font. Anyone know where I can get a copy or what it's called?
I now understand the trolls, Slashdot is indeed shit and useless as a news source.
I think I'l go read some real news. Like Wikinews. Or The Sun.
I do, however, really like the
Windows is only $500 if your time is worthless.
No thanks to their insane privacy invading email system and no thanks to whatever insane privacy invading browsing software they will come up with.
Time to wake up and smell the sell-out here folks! Google is out to OWN you and so far a rediculous number of you have been happily handing them the keys to your life.
It would be so un-Slashdot, except... "We LUV U Google! Kissy-Kissy".
STOP IT!
Contrary to popular belief, coding is not all free blow-jobs and beer. Those things cost MONEY!
