The other thing isn't good either: 34 versions of IE, 20 versions of FF and god knows how many versions of Webkit with 2 different types of javascript engines.
All these browser organisations are trying to find a good middleground of stable (don't break stuff) and get new features out there so people can test/use them.
1. It is only one version to support and you can run it next to the latest version of Firefox. I would think this is a good thing if it keeps the people that do not what all those changes on the same older version instead of, some users on 6, some users on 7, some users on 8.
2. What you are looking for is called the "Add-on Compatibility Reporter":
But maybe he added it to the list because of: 1. it is still stored centrally and: 2. most people think if Y uses Twitter, I can use Facebook. So in that sense you are contributing to the problem. Then again, Identi.ca/status.net would be the same.
Do public website of identi.ca uses Gravatar, that is probably also not such a great idea. Still something logged centrally. ( Gravatar is from the same people as wordpress.com They might be OK people, but they too make mistakes)
If you look a bit further than just their news 'front page'. You would see that nginx overtook Microsoft in the 'active sites' catagory (the more important catagory ?):
I think the people that wrote the article didn't really understand the HP/Palm people they talk to.
Web technologies will get a lot of a new API added in time, but to create the standards takes time, so Palm had to come up with them themselfs and it seems they could not get the right engineers (and standards relations) to add it to WebKit.
I think the conclusion should be:
WebOS is just to early.
Currently the Mozilla Boot to Gecko is doing something similair but they are also working on making all these new APIs new standards.
Most people which install Chrome just install it because Google is a known brandname to them. And Google pretty much is the Internet to them, so they might as well install the Google sanctioned browser.

You've never heared of the 'little ice age' ?
I'm now at a point where I think voting for people who 55% of the time agree with me is pretty useless.
I starting to think I would rather vote on issues.
Ofcourse not, just look at Apple for example. Apple marketshare would decline. They have expensive devices than Android. But more apps.
How do you mean an other Microsoft ? It could just be Microsoft.
Didn't Google mention they would do the same ?
Not sure if they would, but if they did I know some parts of my work probably won't become easier. Bing might help fill that gap slightly.
What would happen if they disabled gmail too ? That would be 'interresting' to watch.
What is wrong with the kinds learning something about how important the Internet is for them ?
I have no idea what you mean from your description, but Wikipedia does run their own DNS. They use PowerDNS for their global DNS load balancing.
Boot from other device obviously.

Microsoft said they will also move to one release per year.

It was obviously meant for a different purpose, so with that name it makes it kind of hard to find.
Even Microsoft said they will create a new version of IE every year soon.
Yes, Twitter is very clearly public.

Even more so because YouTube has almost replaced Flash with HTML5/WebM anyway.
You can enable it here:

Even works if YouTube is embedded on other websites.
"I have a Vista install since 2007 still running as fast as when I installed it"
You mean slow ? ;-)
Just couldn't resist.
That puts cloud computing in a whole new light ;-)
It is called RAS syndrome (short for "redundant acronym syndrome syndrome"): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAS_syndrome

Firefox will soon, probably Firefox 11, have support for SPDY (Speedy HTTP) like Chrome, but server support is limited currently.
If nginx would support it, I'm sure it will replace or serve as a proxy in front of many, many more servers of performance oriented websites.
Acquire the original Sun, charge everyone money for all the different spectrums of the rays of the sun.
Atleast if Oracle was the one doing the acquiring.

I meant normal every day endusers, no geeks.
Geeks only have geeks as friends ;-)
Most people which install Chrome just install it because Google is a known brandname to them. And Google pretty much is the Internet to them, so they might as well install the Google sanctioned browser.
It also helps to improve the performance of the interface.
Actually 3.6 currently still gets security updates, but don't count on that remaining true for long.
