Hey, come on! I just said I appreciated your comment (-: And by the way, in The Netherlands people of foreign origin generally have a better grasp on the language than native people.
But, though this is an interesting discussing, it is off-topic. Could anyone moderate at least this reply down?
Well, English is not my native language and you're right, thank you. I should've looked it up, since I intented to use the correct English expression for this.
To expand on my point: when I visit a store, I'm surrounded with signs and ads, all advertising the greatness of the store in question or promoting some deal they've closed with an other company that, of course, present the customer "an offer they can't possible refuse".
I believe I started with NetCrawler as my SE. AltaVista followed shortly. Then Google had indexed enough of the web to present itself as a viable option. The simplicity, bla bla bla, market share.
The bottom line is: when someone comes up with something better, the users will follow. If users don't like Yahoo's songs, they'll simply switch station.
No disrespect to the author, but this articles boils down to.. a hurricane in a small glass of water.
I don't see a problem with this. I you don't want to download IE7,.. fine. No hurt feelings.
I don't use Yahoo's services; I prefer Google. Google wants me to download and install its Google Toolbar, Google Desktop search engine, et cetera. I choose not to and I did not experience their offerings as a nuisance or anything more evil than what I experience when I walk into a random stones-and-bricks store.
By the way, Google does not promote FireFox as a form of pure altruism. Businesses make business decissions.
Where's the grace in Gracenote?
And why are people always actively destroying their own credit, revenu and business in search for some unattainable monopoly?
