"Licensing our browser was a huge win for Spyglass. And it was a huge loss...
...The message became clear: We sold our browser technology to 120 companies, but one of them slaughtered the other 119"
If the "Get Firefox" image on my sidebar looks screwed to you (just below my profile) you're probably using IE. Click Help then About Internet.... You will then see a text box, the first line of which reads: Based on NCSA Mosaic.. Do you know the real story behind this sentence? If not, or maybe you're just not so sure, then I encourage you to read on.
The link is the story of one of the first browsers around: Spyglass. Good and interesting read. And probably, a surprising tale to some.
The story is here
hehe pare, mosaic yung pangalan ng browser (kaya nga may mozilla, diba?), spyglass yung company...
ReplyDeleteyep, pero some people did refer to their browser as spyglass, Spyglass Mosaic being the full name of the browser. And as the article said, they (Spyglass) were just a licensee of the original NCSA Mosaic, magaling nga lang sila kasi silang ung nakakuha ng rights ng trademark (na Mosaic).
