Mozilla (Carefully) Slams Apple | ConceivablyTech - 0 views

  • Mozilla (Carefully) Slams Apple
  • Mozilla is having issues especially with Apple
  • heading into a direct confrontation with the mighty Jobs.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Mozilla is carefully circumventing the phrase of “waging war” against the creation of closed or “siloed” environments on the web.
  • competing, but not so by going directly against a rival, but by being “different”
  • That name would be Apple, which Mozilla’s chairman and chief lizard wrangler Mitchell Baker directly addressed in a series of sequential blog posts that outline Mozilla’s future direction. The attacks aren’t as crude and as we typically see between Mozilla and Microsoft. They are much more carefully worded, perhaps in an effort to remain polite and not to raise any unnecessary attention
  • “There’s no reason why “apps” can’t incorporate the characteristics that are important about the web. They don’t today because Apple didn’t build them that way. There’s no reason Apple should; Apple has a different view of the world. But we can. In fact, Mozilla is one of the very few organizations that can do this.”
  • Mozilla has yet to show what it plans to do and leaves us with its vision for now. Mozilla believes that its opportunity is a user’s desire to run anything he wants on any device he owns. Mozilla believes that a user wants to be in charge of his web experience, not Apple, Google or a device. Mozilla believes that a user would want to be in control of her/his identity and the information that is made available. Of course, Mozilla’s model is also based on Firefox and a web browser, which Apple could care less about at this time.
