I'm going out on a limb here, I hope it doesn't break...

As has been noted here, and is very obvious to those with any modicum of insight, the brand and trust value in FF has been greatly tarnished:
Will the general public be more reticent to use FF?
Will computer techs be less likely to reccommend FF to users?
Will enterprises be less likely to use FF?
I think the answer is yes on all counts.

Gamma International(AKA major cunts) picked the obvious choice of "trusted" and "independent" browsers to smear. And they have done a great job. Also, they smeared the browser that has the smallest legal coffers, because it had to be obvious to the major kunts that Mozilla would get wind of this and then litigate. We could hope that Mozilla can, as has been noted earlier, "sue the living daylights" out of major kunts.
How far will they get?

How will Mozilla reclaim their "street cred" as the independent and trusted browser?

Then we need to think about who this action helps, indirectly... Well, we all know the answer that.
Now, I wouldn't go so far as to suggest that either of the other major browsers had anything to do with this smear, but, it does cause one to pause and perhaps reflect on the long term implications of this smear against FF.

We can only pray that Mozilla is able to see that justice is done against this despicable band of hoodlums and scumbags.

Over and over again, how many times do we have to keep regurgitating this...
Yes, we know, phones and tablets are consumption devices.
PC's are "work"/creation devices.

In the enterprise Apple or Linux or whoever is gonna have a HELLUVA time displacing Windows, Active Directory, Office, etc; and all the software that is written to run in that environment.
For example, how many bioanalytical chemistry/drug testing labs are running LIMS or Lab Informatics software on mac's or google chrome devices? What about companies that process credit card transactions? What about inventory control software for food processing? Apple? Linux?

Just because all these media consumption devices are "the new kid in town" and basking in their self-referential glow doesn't mean they are going to displace the framework that is in place that businesses run on.
Agreed, MS blew it in the consumer space, but good luck dislodging them from the Enterprise.

Comment: A few thoughts about Android (Score 1) 318

My first and only Android experience is my GS3. I love it and think it is a great device. So many cool apps, so powerful, easy to use, phone sounds great, etc; However, with that being said, yes, the way the device came pre-loaded with Sprint garbage was atrocious. And how these devices tie in to Google...

First off you can't realistically use an Android device unless it is at least rooted.

If its not rooted and you can manage apps and permissions, then you are a sitting duck for crapware, etc;

Secondly, and only after the difficult process of rooting was accomplished did I realize that rooting alone is just a first step.
The only real way to use an Android device is with some modded ROM such as Cyanogenmod.
The absolute filth that is pre-loaded onto the phone company supplied devices(my experience is only with Sprint and Samsung GS3) defies description(actually I did just describe it...)

Yet, it is amazing how many people I see running pre-loaded stock Android devices and blissfully are unaware of any of the security issues, etc;

The difference between dogs and cats is that dogs come when they're called. Cats take a message and get back to you.

Working...
