The real question is, does it use the same/already installed javascript and HTML-rendering engine ? Or does it use Chrome's own Webkit version and V8 ?
It is to show that version numbers don't really matter, only to developers and such people. Everyone should be running the latest stable or latest extended support release/long time support version.
"Think of Larry Eleson as a lawn mower... the lawn mower just mows the lawn. You stick your hand in their, it will chop it off. The end. You don't think the lawn mower hates me. The lawn mower doesn't give a shit about you. The lawn mower can't hate you.... the lawn mower doesn't care about Open Solaris,... the lawn mower can't have empathy..."
The original inventors of the Internet did that too, actually the first really big test was when they had routed packets over modem lines and packet radio ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packet_radio#Timeline ) in the US via satellite to Europe and back.
TCP/IP is meant to connect different networks, the Internet is built from interconnecting networks, or sometimes called Internetworking*, it doesn't matter if serial, proprietary or ethernet is used.
* I believe the original inventors called it differently at the time, but I don't remember the term right now. Internetworking is the commonly used term for it now I believe.
you need to prove you were assulted/mogged/whatever to the police so'll they actually start an invenstigation, so these people can get fined or maybe even go to jail. If you don't give them some evidence to go on the police won't investigate it.
instead you would:
You'd shoot first and ask questions later, so the police will take you away and again you will have to prove something.
But this time, you'll have to prove it was self-defence and if you can't prove it, you will be the one that goes to jail.
Statcounter (who count marketshare by pageviews): Chrome 34.61% Firefox 5+ 21.75% (it does not tell us about Firefox 4 users) Firefox 3.6 1.22% (it does not tell us about earlier versions of Firefox) IE6 0.46% IE7 1.05% IE8 11.55% IE9 17.03%
The problems with making Firefox multi process is they don't want to break 99% of all the addons.
And there is an advantage to not doing multi-process, which is less memory usage. Just look at memory usage benchmarks, it is always Opera, Firefox and Safari that when those. Not Chrome.
Actually Apple does have a worse history in a sense. When Steve was still at the top, he would let them almost completely design and build whole new competing products by different teams and then choose or abandon all of them.

"So why bump the major rev number?"
It is to show that version numbers don't really matter, only to developers and such people. Everyone should be running the latest stable or latest extended support release/long time support version.
If I remember correctly, some say the financial crisis was also initiated by a similair algorithmic trading mortgages.
Actually the one in Debian/Ubuntu is usable, it's closer to Gnome 2 than XFCE is.
"...they don't care, you don't have the money."
That reminds me of this Youtube video about what happend to OpenSolaris:

Open Source might not be about users, but the GPL is.
Actually the GPL doesn't care so much about developers, it just cares about users.
If the users don't like the developers, the users should be able to take the code and get other developers (probably paid) or themselfs to work on it.
At least with Ubuntu it is easy to install any Linux DE you want it, but with Windows 8 you can't remove it.
(I've never used it)
Well, then I guess it links to Mobile Safari a webkit browser.
And their was this other recent project that I can't remember right now...
Yes, the WebSocket protocol and implementation have been fixed more than a year ago.
Although using TLS/SSL, like HTTPS, might sometimes be needed as a workaround when you encounter buggy (usually transparant) proxy-servers.
That is exactly what they are doing, with support from a large number of operaters:

Firefox OS is still more open than anything Apple releases.
Most be cold in hell, because Mozilla has had iOS apps for years which use webkit, like:
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/mobile/home/
Because Apple doesn't allow Opera, Google Chrome or Mozilla to port their engine to iOS and "sell" it on in the Apple App Store.
Why a newly developed HTML5/Javascript app ?
A lot of apps on iOS and Android are already build with HTML5. Usually with a native wrapper, which you obviously wouldn't need with Firefox OS.
A lot of apps on iOS and Android are already built with HTML5. Making them available on Firefox OS should their for be easy.
I think that is what Mozilla is saying.
Really ?
So you'd claim it's self-defence ?
Let's look at this rationally:
So the problem above was:
you need to prove you were assulted/mogged/whatever to the police so'll they actually start an invenstigation, so these people can get fined or maybe even go to jail. If you don't give them some evidence to go on the police won't investigate it.
instead you would:
You'd shoot first and ask questions later, so the police will take you away and again you will have to prove something.
But this time, you'll have to prove it was self-defence and if you can't prove it, you will be the one that goes to jail.
Yeah, great solution that is...
You do know this article is talking about "public cloud" services ? What you describe is called "private cloud".
I thought the Earth's magnetic field isn't really stable, it changes slightly over time.
With "the cloud", you don't own the server. So you don't decide how your data is secured.
Yes, Corporate is different. And definitely isn't the same as looking at W3Schools. W3Schools is for the newbie webdeveloper.

I still consider Microsoft up to their tricks for example.
There won't be a IE10 for Windows 7 either.
