All events given in the article are independent of each other and future outcomes. There's absolutely no reason to bet money on Chrome because of Ballmer.

FTA: Google won the browser war, with the help of Mozilla. The important point here is that Google doesn't care what browser you use. They don't make money on browsers, they make money on online offerings and apps so all they care about is

The article is spot on in asking a critical question about exactly how capable Google's offering is in reality as an OPERATING SYSTEM. To say that Google's OS is to provide a distributed storage mechanism is to bypass the concept of what a

I really can't take such articles seriously anymore because they very simplistically confuse companies with tribes and competition with war... Microsoft, Google, and Apple have figured out ways to make money in different ways. Whatever Goo

I was hacking my Apple IIe with "Thriller" playing in the background. I would like to think that counts for something. Perhaps that doesn't warrant the top link on HN at all - after all his death has no impact on the computer world. At t
