Mozilla Plans Mobile App Store
dkd903 writes "Mozilla wants to make it big in the Mobile world and has revealed its plans for a unique mobile app store in its annual report — 'The State of Mozilla,' which was released recently. Mozilla has already brought the desktop Firefox experience to mobile devices as the Fennec browser, which was initially launched for the Maemo platform on Nokia N900. Mozilla has designed a prototype of a mobile app store and plans to call it a 'Open Web App ecosystem.' The aim is to create an open app store platform that would consist of apps that can run on all mobile devices: — A 'Mobile Device Independent' App Store."
Shut the fuck up, communist scum. Faggots like you don't understand that open sauce is a health hazard to the economy.
Want an application that doesn't spy on you? Good luck. Free apps have made it expected and accepted.
Want an application that is reliable? Good luck. Free apps with paid support models are going to make programming poorly the goal of the application vendor.
Want an application that is effective? Good luck. Free apps justify more price cutting. Low paid developers build the shit that their shitty pay entitles.
Want an application that is innovative? Good luck. Free apps will not foster the R&D cycle once ads and information services, their only revenue models, tighten up.
Free software will end the computer, and we'll go the steve jobs way of buying devices with a single purpose instead of using multiple services on a single device. Better way for the big corporate rapists to rape your wallet a bit more, too.
I had high hopes for BeOS, and it was awesome, because it was different. I wish open source would do something new and stop copying others.
What?
My company was running Windows and we lost a significant portion of productivity and security. Then we switched to Linux and our shit ran really fast. When our competitors saw our tangible gains, they wondered how we did it. We offered them a tour and nudged-elbows urging them to upgrade and compete with us on a level playing field.
The women in their programming and sales teams suck our dicks, man. Even the men sucked our dicks. Mustachioed motherfuckers looking like like Mario, Luigi, and Freddy Mercury...all sucking dicks. Our dicks. You mentioned Steve Jobs, he also sucks dicks. Not our dicks. Yet. But some other gay dude's dick, in those upscale bathhouses, with the butts bumping and the scrotums slapping. Hairy ones, too.
So open source is the panocha to all of our problems. The big, closed software shops are shitting their fucking pants because their bureaucratic inerta is heavy like Lexington Steele's dick. Those motherfuckers are going down. Deal with it, you jackbooted Natszi thug.
And I'm sure being molested by the TSA doesn't matter to you either. Maybe you should fuck off so the rest of us don't need to live with the results of your apathy.
mozilla users are used to paying for strap-ons, though!
Do you even lift?
These aren't the 'roids you're looking for.
Just because windows was programmed by members of the black power movement does not mean that free software is the answer. The reason that shit like linux has been able to thrive is situational; a mere product of the tech boom of the last 40 years along with its gay ass academic development.
Free software is not a sustainable market. You will understand in the future when you're paying back by sucking the dick of your hermaphrodite of a sister because she bought the logs that incriminated you for looking at that furry shit you like so much.
Ha.
We'll see about that, when your economy goes to shit an' you an' all of the closed-source software vendors' former employees are turning tricks an' selling their children to rich Arabs to put ramen noodles on the table. Shaka, when the walls fell. The future is every bit as open as your gaping butthole is.
You sound like some pants-shitting PL/I programmer on your high-horse because the C/*NIX power-duo ate your fucking lunch.
"... Firefox does not have memory management issues."
He's joking of course. Open a lot of windows and tabs, and Firefox will munch memory until it takes all the available memory, and then it will crash. Before that Firefox will be sloooow. The memory munching continues even when you aren't using your computer.
Firefox is the most unstable program in common use. The memory gobbling, CPU gobbling was reported more than 8 years ago, and still hasn't been fixed.
