MC2 Post 1381 Kindle Fire HD is Bad for Android and Worse for iPad



Or Is It ???

My Take:  A Bigger Walled-Garden Joins a very profitable 
Sector of technology.

Google is in a tough spot. Apple suddenly looks like an ally now that Amazon has unveiled Kindle Fire HD. Both companies stand to lose big time should the tablet achieve any meaningful sales success. Google Play doesn't offer strong enough ecosystem to battle with either iPad or Kindle Fire, but Amazon's tablet is more likely to scorch Android's earth. Amazon's vertical integration -- store, software and services -- is tight, as good as Apple's and in many respects superior. 
No matter which wins, Android loses.

Why Chrome Hasn't Killed Mozilla Firefox


From:  http://www.linuxtoday.com

From the Happy 4th Birthday Chrome' files:

Four years ago, Google launched Chrome. At the time, I wrote a commentary piece that it wasn't likely that Chrome would kill IE.

As it turns out, I was (mostly) right. IE still exists, though it has its lowest share in years, thanks in no small part to Chrome's growing share.Chrome however isn't just growing entirely at IE's expense. It has also had an impact on Mozilla's Firefox too.

When Chrome came out in 2008, I don't think it was clear to me that four years later I'd be talking about Chrome version 23. That's right, Chrome has pushed out an average of 6 or more stable browsers a year, every year since 2008.

That incredible rate of release has not been mimicked by IE. IE continues to evolve at a comparably glacial pace. For those that require Google Apps and modern web apps in general, IE simply doesn't move fast enough.

But what about Firefox?
