Because consumers choose a platform based on its     popularity, misconceptions about market-share only confuse the issue     even further."

    Adam Doxtater writes "We normally don't review web browsers, but what     better topic for discussion is there?

Opera is     the only one that comes close to Mozilla in speed and features, but it     seems too bulky to me for some ...

http://newsvac.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=03/06/14/1346230

    The lawsuit filed in Alameda County Superior Court calls for an     injunction against Oracle in pursuing its $5.1 billion offer for     PeopleSoft.
