Trippin' with Trip: One Man's View of Carnage to Come

Anybody that thinks Oracle or IBM, or, honestly, any traditional software company, is going to create their own web browser clearly does not understand the current state of the web.

The counter to that statement is, of course, Goggle Chrome. Google didn't create a browser, though, in an attempt to get market share or more money, they created it to lead the other browser developers towards they type of browsing experience they think will be best for their existing business. In other words, they created it so they could keep their existing market share. It's already working, too. Both Mozilla and Firefox have already integrated functionality from Chrome into their next-generation of software. That helps Google. That's why they built chrome.

Oracle and IBM have no such need and would not benefit at all from creating their own browser.

If this prediction indicates the quality of the rest of the article, well, maybe I'll use this as my counter-indicator, ie, I'll invest in everything he thinks will fail and sell everything he thinks will succeed.
