Inspired by this, let's talk internet independence.

That's just an advert for Firefox.

Now this thread will turn into a flame war about browsers and get locked.

Netscape fo lyfe, yo!

so i herd u like compuserve

It's not an advertisement, it's a celebration. Fire Fox is non profit, remember, like Google used to be?

No one's really interested in the topic are they?

Google was never non-profit. They didn't make a profit in their first few years of operation, because that's how Internet start-ups worked. They were always interested in making money. If you're talking about "don't be evil", well, that was never truly official, so they pretty much have every right to be the New Microsoft.

Until Google becomes a political force that makes the majority of its money from patent violation lawsuits, suspicious out-of-court settlements, copyright squatting and other frivolous methods it is no more evil than say, me.

But as a firefox user I say "by Jove I'm independent."

As a firefox user I say: 'Hmm, this didn't cost me anything and it crashes slightly less often than Internet Exploder and that is all I care about'.
