Chrome Doom

Hopefully Google will at some point start an online auction facility similar to eBay. I have found that eBay acts exactly as all monopolies do offering poor service with ever increasing fee structures until someone gives them reason to change.

So far I think wherever Google has entered, they've created the best (or one of) applications/services in that area. It forces the competition to up their game and if they can't, the best product will win out.

 

If I was a big corporation and heard that Google was going to enter my industry, I would be scared and be pulling off whatever I could to keep my market share. And if I was an insider, I might start dumping my shares. ;)

I've been using Chrome for a good while now. It has it's moments, but I like the speed with which it opens - simple really, but nothing more annoying than a web browser that takes more than 2 seconds to open!

CEO Eric Schmidt was asked about how Chrome was doing. Here’s an excerpt

A Conversation With Sergey Brin And Eric Schmidt

Q: You keep adding to Chrome and nobody seems to be paying attention. If that is one of the places where the battle is fought you seem pretty far behind.

 

Sergey: Perhaps that is true in media . . .

 

Schmidt: let me, some of your assumptions about Chrome adoption are wrong. The adoption rate of Chrome is [very strong]. We are going to do a better job of getting that message out.

 

Schonfeld: Steve Ballmer calls it a rounding error, is it?

 

Schmidt: I don’t respond to Steve Ballmer questions. Next question?

The same. The biggest irritant to me is not having a file open option (yet) for downloads.

 

Empires come and go I can't see MS rolling over just yet. The 'new paradigm' which is really thin client brought up to date has failed many times before, it will be interesting to see if Google can make an old paradigm work by wrapping it up in a browser and cloud computing.

Bill Gates must be pissed,

this OS wrapped in the browser was his idea,

but he was forced to unbundle it years ago...

 

Quite true though that was a fat OS and a fat browser. :D They also put quite a lot of money into Windows Terminal Server.

This is free-market capitalism at its finest. Microfuzzy holds an oligopoly on OS software. Its only serious competition to date is Apple, which arguably produces a superior product, but limits adoption by insisting on proprietary hardware. This allows MS to market crap. Having just survived a malware attack that my McAfee didn't prevent or even detact and reading about viruses that can download kiddy-porn on your computer and get you arrested, I long for a popular version of Linux that will attract developers. I would have abandoned Windoze long ago if Tradestation had an Apple version.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful. Remember, sometimes what you throw in the garbage is something that someone wishes ever to have.” – ElZee, Quora   Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
