As stated by another poster, Netscape vs MSFT was about coercing OEMs not to include competing browsers to be pre-installed on new systems. Apple could create and give away a cross platform password manager without much fear of ramification

> However, they also have a fairly closed ecosystem in which they are trying to overprice things when they can abusing their dominant position. They have ~16% of the global market. In no way do they have a dominant position.

The problem here is that Samsung are marketing it as "look how amazing our 100x zoom is!" when in fact it's not 100x zoom, its 30x digital zoom and the results are misleading. The iPhone issue was pointing out how comparati

It not even a majority that dictates. It’s ostensibly a vocal minority of professional offence-takers who wield power, generally on social media. My partner has MS, and I made an off-the-cuff joke about it, and got pilloried by people that

I'll rephrase then, why do devices preinstalled with Linux continually fail in the mass market?

Developers lives, not necessarily users. It was also a huge waste of time and money for all parties as it achieves nothing - Facebook are the market leader with WhatsApp both globally an in Europe - iMessage barely registers in the top 5.

Everything you say makes complete sense if I look at it through the lens of someone that unflinchingly adheres to the FLOSS ethos, on that we're never going to agree. My view is that the end user is the most important part of the whole

With respect, you are the minority - and a vanishingly small one at that. I'm talking about typical end users. The *buntu family should be appealing, but Linux folks disparage because reasons. For folks like you, there's Fedora

"Linux is better off avoiding such “default” choices" - and this is what holds Linux (the desktop OS) back. Why do people choose Windows or macOS over Linux time and again? Sensible out-of-the-box defaults. They can fire up a new

I’m sorry, but if that’s your idea of freedom, you can fucking keep it. Our police, though not saints, don’t shoot unarmed people. At least in Britain we are free from being shot in school.

At scale, that’s not an option. If you have external services that send mail to your Workspace tenant, there is a risk of compromise to the sending service, especially if it is outside of your control. The sending service could have SPF rec

It is solved by the product. You tick a box, and internal mail is bypassed. The issue here is that developers and IT folk seem to think that email is easy because the know IT. Email is a complex, and old protocol that has many nuances and,

It's such a shame, when they bought Postini[0], it was the pre-eminent email security product on the market, and was largely part of Gmail's anti-spam reputation. Since they discontinued it as a commercial concern, it seams to hav

I absolutely hate it when parents respond to questions like this, but… Do you have kids? I love mine completely and unconditionally, but a day off being an employee and a parent (well half the day at least) sounds like bliss!

The only growth Tories want is in their own bank accounts. They certainly don’t care about young people. Then they don’t really care about old people either, it’s just that they are still gullible enough to believe what they and the Murdoch

Email clients don’t really have a spec to follow other than parsing messages that are received via POP or more likely IMAP these days (not forgetting MAPI either). Adding FWD or RE to a subject field doesn’t appear anywhere in the email mes

It isn’t broken. The fact is that you and the other posters simply don’t like or even don’t grok it. So you climb your ivory tower to declare that emperor is not wearing any clothes. It’s trite, and it’s boring and it’s lowering the quality
