Hi Hans -- <<< Before you counter my email, I recommend you read this article: http://www.zdnet.com/amazons-top-selling-laptop-doesnt-run-windows-or-mac-os-it-runs-linux-7000009433/ >>> I suppose this remark is for Jim and his note " that both Apple and MS will make moves to eliminate competing browsers"? And I have already read the article you refer as well as the articles I have referred in my quoted posting - from all that articles' info I'd assume that it would be unwise to try to eliminate competing browsers. Thank you. -- Shamil Вторник, 29 января 2013, 15:31 -08:00 от Hans-Christian Andersen <hans.andersen at phulse.com>: >And the fact that both Chrome and Safari are based on WebKit, which is a project that is open sourced on the BSD licence, which essentially means the code is all yours, do what you wish with it (unlike with GPL, which has some conditions). > >How come no one ever mentions the fact that you cannot install any other browser on a chomebook? By your standards, this would make google evil and trying to squeeze out its browser competitors, would it not? :) > >Before you counter my email, I recommend you read this article: >http://www.zdnet.com/amazons-top-selling-laptop-doesnt-run-windows-or-mac-os-it-runs-linux-7000009433/ > > >- Hans > > >On 2013-01-29, at 3:01 PM, Salakhetdinov Shamil < mcp2004 at mail.ru > wrote: > >> Hi Jim -- >> >> <<< >> I fully believe that both Apple and MS will make >> moves to eliminate competing browsers. >> >> But what they can do with Android taking now 70% of global market smartphones share >> http://techcrunch.com/2013/01/28/android-ios-grabbed-92-of-global-smartphone-shipments-in-q4-2012-android-undisputed-volume-leader-says-analyst/ >> >> and "Android tablets gaining on iPads" >> http://www.tech-thoughts.net/2012/11/tablet-market-share-trends-android-ipad.html#.UQhUbSefh_8 >> >> ? >> >> >> -- Shamil >> >> Вторник, 29 января 2013, 14:13 -08:00 от "Jim Lawrence" < accessd at shaw.ca >: >>> 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.
