Default Re: This weeks DNJ - more mobi mania


No, but Rick has and he has spent a lot of money trying to hype something that ain't going to fly. Lets face it the US is probably about fourth among major mobile markets. In the other markets, even the major players would be struggling to understand what they are on about.

Why not .ff for Firefox, .ie for Internet Explorer, or even .lcd for LCD monitors versus .crt? Because extensions have nothing to do with the OS, browser, monitor, or PC manufacturer. That is the point of port 80. It is platform independent. No .sun, .mac, or .pc. Just dot com, net, org, and the rest by organization type.

Am I missing something? It seems so stupid.
