    For those who think competition in the browser space is inevitable, consider whether you think the same about search.

        All browsers are already either Google code or are funded by Google ads or both. Google may not directly write all browser code, but their direct influence in browser development is inescapable. 😬

        I was watching the pilot episode of @TRVLRSseries and the most unrealistic element was a character performing a Bing search.

        Monopoly is the natural state of an unregulated market. Someone wins big. Everybody else loses. Question is mostly how bloody the deposing is and how long it takes to arrive.

        BlackBerry used to monopolize the smartphone market. Apple blew them in 3 years. MSN Messenger is dead, Hollywood is getting f***ed by Netflix. Monopoly doesn’t stand long

        I don't think this but I also don't see how competition is possible at all given the current constraints.

        Lately, finding searching for it currently relevant items (and not finding Wikipedia entries I do not want) very very poor (tried to look for official HD-DVD specs and the consortium official site)... I am starting to question that too...
