Remember that huge New York Times advertisement that begged the question: “Are you fed up with your web browser?” That was the Mozilla Foundation taking off the gloves to lay the smack down against Microsoft and their crummy Internet Explorer alternative. When they wage war, they mean it.

Firefox has been gaining some serious traction since then, and has picked up a sizable portion of that market. Less popular, however, is the Opera browser. Now a new war is in the making against these two camps, but this time it’s on a miniature scale.

ReadWriteWeb is reporting that Mozilla has released some details regarding their browser for cell phones — both traditional and touchscreen (like the iPhone). However, it’s hardly even past the conceptual stage. In fact they are only mockups!

The mini/mobile versions of Opera already have these features, and Mozilla hasn’t even shipped an alpha release of what they are trying to peddle. It’s hardly worth comparing the two products, especially when one doesn’t even exist yet. Having said that though, RWW does bring up a good point: The huge user base for FireFox is going to give it more clout upon delivery than what the Opera browser will be able to garner.

It’s a shame, because FireFox is coming in second to these features that already work. But user percentages say a lot, and they’re poised to capitalize on the market share. Check out the Mozilla mockups here if you’re interested.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
