Hi John: In this high-stakes game of controlling the internet and the browser port-holes to the same, hardware companies like Apple and want-a-bes like Microsoft are trying to consolidate their advantage. I fully believe that both Apple and MS will make moves to eliminate competing browsers...and that will mean stopping their biggest competitors like Google and for a small part Firefox. Without government intervention claiming a monopoly, or stiff client disapproval, Google along with third-party application developers (like Amazon for example) could be removed from between 50 to 60 percent of the market or be forced to pay taffies to enjoy access. All these potential market trends give me pause.

Can't link their own pages correctly. Spending millions advertising that their phones can go into "silent mode". No kidding, what phone can't? is it any wonder their stock has fallen? Sad. Steve Jobs has to be rolling over. -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Gary Kjos Sent: Tuesday, January 29, 2013 11:41 AM To: Discussion of Hardware and Software issues Subject: Re: [dba-Tech] For web developers http://www.macrumors.com/2012/07/25/apples-removes-mentions-of-safari-for-wi ndows-but-version-5-1-7-still-available/ "Update: Apple has pulled the standalone Safari 5.1.7 for Windows download page, redirecting visitors to the previous version that links to the now-discontinued general Safari download page. As a result, it appears that Safari for Windows is now not directly linked anywhere in Apple's official download pages. " This was dated July 25, 2012.
