Keele6386d ago

Sorry Firefox, Opera is faster.

PopEmUp6386d ago

my @$$ yeh? please be serious

Keele6386d ago

I am serious. Firefox is slow as hell, even Chrome is faster. Only thing Firefox is faster than is IE but everything is faster than that.

Thing is, most people only know the existence of Firefox so they think it's the best/fastest/whatever else browser in the world but there are so many other browsers you've never even heard of and some are better than firefox.

LOL @ Keele
The creator of JavaScript is a Firefox developer.

PopEmUp6386d ago

you mean the other way around, like everything is faster and better than IE. Chrome is still in beta stage and it still way better than ie in many ways.

3.1 beta 2 is definitely faster than 3.1 beta 1. Javascript performance is great and overall everything feels more snappy. I'm looking forward to the full release in early '09.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing36d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit36d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing36d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9236d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
