Rubin believes this open-source model gives Google an advantage over rivals selling closed systems, like Apple, which also operates its own online stores. Apple’s tight control enables it to deliver an exceptionally smooth user experience, where everything works seamlessly together.

      Key point. There are clear advantages to open systems
  •  
    So what happens when most of the residents of planet Earth carry a device that gives them instant access to pretty much all of the world's information? The implications-for politics, for education, for global economics-are dizzying. In theory, the mobile revolution could enable citizens to demand greater openness and accountability from their governments. The reverse might also be true: governments could more easily spy on citizens. "You also have the prospect of having 5 billion surveillance points," says Jonathan Zittrain, codirector of Harvard's Berkman Center for Internet & Society.

  • Although common tracking systems, known as cookies, have counted a consumer's visits to a network of sites, the new monitoring, known as "deep-packet inspection," enables a far wider view -- every Web page visited, every e-mail sent and every search entered.

  •  
    Its focus on running applications within the browser is an important driver of interest in cloud computing, where applications live somewhere off on the Internet and are delivered by the browser. The focus of future browsers will shift from "going places" to "doing things." This will be a boon to free operating systems, which will increasingly be able to hide themselves under the browser user interface.
