Comment 93/100 on the Acid3 test (Score 1) 202

For a web developer 93/100 is more than enough, such a (high) score is well suited to do everything you'd expect from a modern browser. The need to hit 100% is overrated, if you're a web developer you know what I mean. Firefox takes the approach of "what really matters" to web developers and users and that is not only passing the acid 3 test but also "next-generation" (HTML5) features like web workers (threads), native video, animated SVGs, Canvas and other stuff that other browser(s) that hit 100/100 aren't yet able to do for now, but which is much more welcome than the remaining 7% of the acid test.

Comment Death helps thinking (Score 1) 173

There are ppl who know/remember that GM back in the 90' teamed up with the oil companies (which paid GM a lotta money) and eagerly downplayed the value and possibilities of the electric cars, lobbied to kill them and they succeeded. It turns out in the long run GM was playing against its own interests - the oil companies it teamed up with are doing fine and GM is bankrupt. So eat what you deserve GM, short term profit and greed cost ya! Maybe it's time to put customers first.

Comment Death of Microsoft (Score 1) 267

In countries like China pirated copies of windows come close to 99%. End of piracy will mark the death of Microsoft as we know it today. Microsoft is very lucky there's lots of piracy, otherwise by now this company would only have been an afterthought.

Comment Microsoft and Russia (Score 1) 105

When Ballmer announced that this year Microsoft will spend a lot of money on innovation (the Microsoft way) in Russia I suddenly remembered Russia's serious commitment to its national OS. Now I know my suspicion came true, I knew Microsoft's commitment is there to kill another Linux move, that they would bribe officials which, like in Spain, would result in a sudden drop/lack of interest to move to Linux, and that's exactly what happened. One must have less than 2 brain cells to not understand what's going on.
