Google Chrome takes one-half of one percent of the Web browser market

And let me point out that it’s nice to see that OneStat understands the difference between usage share, which this is, and market share, which this isn’t. OneStat.com, the number one provider of real-time intelligence web analytics, today reported that Google's Chrome browser has only a small global...

The MobileMe disaster continues: Now it's not 'Exchange for the rest of us' anymore

I just received the following note that Apple sent to its sales force. In it, the company says that it will no longer use the "Exchange for the rest of us" slogan because MobileMe, unlike Exchange, does not really use push technology. This whole thing is unbelievable to me: MobileMe Messaging...

More reasons to switch to Firefox?

I think Michael Horowitz is being a bit harsh (and I'm guessing that's his entire schtick in a nutshell), but Mozilla's Asa Dotzler summarizes this argument a bit more agreeably, in my opinion. First, the Horowitz bit : If you surf the web on a Windows computer, you are safer using Firefox...

Questions and comments about Firefox 3, IE 8, the future of Web browsers, cloud computing, and how it all comes together

So it's always amusing to me when the mainstream press tries to cover tech products, but I was particularly interested in this one since I'm in the middle of writing my own Firefox 3 review. I think that terms like "innovative" are thrown around too casually these days, and while I...

Shame on Mozilla

Well, it's come to this : Like one-time innovator AMD before it, Mozilla has no Act 2, and they're consigned to just copying features from their dominant competitor, a sad about-face for a company previously known for doing The Right Thing. [W]ebslices [sic] and [A]ctivites [sic] Just in case...

Opera CTO: How to fix Microsoft's browser issues

It's hard to know where to start with this one. I'm not sure if it's the CTO, the company he represents, or the site he chose to publish his opinion on. But it all stinks from what I can tell . If there was a functioning market for web browsers and operating systems, the past few weeks would...

Netscape Navigator RIP

It took a few years longer than anticipated, but Netscape Navigator is finally being discontinued as of February 2008: While internal groups within AOL have invested a great deal of time and energy in attempting to revive Netscape Navigator, these efforts have not been successful in gaining market share...

Will Success, or All That Money From Google, Spoil Firefox?

Generally speaking, holidays (today is Veterans Day in the US) are slow news days. So imagine my surprise when I cracked open The New Yorks Times this morning at the kitchen table and discovered a number of interesting stories. Granted, none of them were strictly news stories per se, but this was the...
