Comment Re:What is unfriendly regarding thrid party browse (Score 1) 318

Looking at the app store I see roughly 2 dozens of browsers for iPads/iPhones. Most of them iOS only. So independend developers easily can make a browser for iOS ... and even make money from it, but Mozilla can't?
Sorry this claim is ridiculous.

The limitation is that those browsers must use the Webkit built into iOS, so Chrome was an easy one - they already use Webkit.

They are also limited to inferior Webkit/Javascript engine while Safari uses optimized (like NitroJS for JavaScript while inferior javascript engine is available for 3rd party apps.

Because mozilla want's to keep their browser theirs, not using iOS 3rd party accessible version of rendering & JavaScript engine. Even if they actually had access to optimized webkit/NitroJS Safari use they won't want that. Now you complain that someone doesn't want to change their product to something else because you won't get it on iOS?

"Unified user experience" vs. "User-selectible choice" is like "Capitalism" vs. "Socialism" - Everyone with half-brain can see that best 1st word countries (USA not being one of them) have mixed system, and that's how it should work here too.

P.S. What if you company or school mandated students to buy, for example, iPads?

One last interesting note from the article: "it wasn't the first time his speed dial had jammed but that Renault had looked at the car and assured him that it was fine." That's probably where the legal complaint comes into play

Yeah, that's quite the big one...

I don't understand these people trying to shift the blame, ignoring the fact about the Renault technicians role in story (or perhaps genuinely believing that their mr. smartypants answer is really something so clever that the technician wouldn't have thought about it), I mean.... what's their motive?

Indeed, when I was a wee child I used to be baffled about why parents were always there when we (me & my lil sis) "did something" and tried to be quiet but not when we were making noise - took a while to understand and feel dumb about it =)
