Agree with the question. Apparently, based on the another article I was reading, Apple would most likely take over enterprise market from RIM very soon. RIM could not deliver what they promise on time most of the time. Enterprises do not like Apple because of their secretive approaches on product deliveries however that is certainly worse than not meeting the expectations.
Thanks for sharing this article, Jason. I am quite surprised why Mozilla would do that. Plug-ins could not be the only reason. 32 bit Plug-ins can easily be isolated from the core and run side 64 bit machine. As you mentioned this would impact decision makers more psychologically than technologically. However, I am sure Mozilla will find out a way to keep up with current technologies.
Wow - Other than RIM it's hard to remember a segment leader making such a shortsighted decision.
Firefox was the golden browser, usage rising, loved by those who loved to hate Microsoft product.
But those golden days are over. Chrome is rising to take over Firefox's place in the hierarchy. Internet Explorer is proving many doubters wrong and hanging in there.
Now Mozilla is making choices that will hurt their chances in the world of corporate browser preferences.
Is this the point where Mozilla "jumps the shark" to use a TV term for the moment when a show heads downhill.
I fully agree that this is a huge mistake on their end. For years they have been one of the top browsers and it seems like they want that to end at this rate. Why end production on a 64-bit browser when more and more people are using 64-bit computers? That is a very dumb move to make that might put in the final nail in their coffin if they do not some sort of PR trick to build the moral back up.
I agree for the most part. Like I said in an earlier post, I have never had issues with it until I installed the latest update just the other day. Version 17.0 does seem to have some issues. I tried Chrome awhile back and did not care for it much, however in the past couple days I have been using it and it seems to be working excellently.

In the 1970 science fiction thriller Colossus: The Forbin Project, two giant supercomputers from the United States and Soviet Union secretly join forces to take control of the collective nuclear might of the two countries. In the film, the two machines discover each other's existence, communicate back-and-forth, share their collective data, and cut their human creators out of the process.

The whole Amazon.reader debate is a double-stupid. It's stupid to think that there's any e-book buyer who doesn't know Amazon's URL, and it was stupider to let ICANN launch the whole free-form TLD initiative to start with.
