they realized it - but too late

Can we hope firefox-os can give us more freedom ?

dont think so ! too late ! ppl r locked-in to not one but two ecosytems.

The open firefox browser should never have put a google search box by default;

as if google is non-profit and it has the best interests of web consumers.

smart glass is a device independent

smart glass :

1. device independent [ works on android, ios, wp7, wp8, w8, wrt ,etc]

2. it is not a readmade app: it is rather a platform that devs can creatively capitalize on

3. for example:

a tv remote

a game controller

a keyboard to browse menus and internet [IE]

a companion for tv shows, movies, games and music.

a mouse / keyboard [both] with tv being the monitor and xbox being CPU

opensource cannot sustain real corps.

simple open source rules corps follow [including famed open-Google and others]

1. software that is bread and butter to my company - keep it locked in

[ google search engine, google gmail , etc]

2. software that will kill my competitors - make it open source

[ google docs, etc]

3. software that will make my proprietary s/w more popular / deeply routed - make it open source

[ google android, etc]

- freemium is the other face of open source.

- also I hope the commentators here have a clarity about being open and providing open source code.

two sides of a coin

its the blogs and the media gone crazy, i for one working with silverlight and html5 am not bothered a bit.

both will live long enough and compensate each other, as they have individual strengths and weaknesses.
