Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

If it means less of this then it’s a good thing.

Hmm, power is flickering. Trying to decide if it's better to unplug the laptop to avoid a power surge or unplug and risk not being at full power. Decisions, decisions.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The architecture guy at work gave a presentation about our mobile strategy, and all his browser share numbers were either desktop or desktop+mobile. I mean--if Android has over half the mobile market, how does IE have most of the browser market?
I dared ask him about if afterwards (do I want to show up a senior director) and he just nodded and said they were desktop numbers.
So...basically useless?
But it did make me wonder--IE is going to be on the Windows phones, but, like Safari, they're going to be only on that OS. Are they bargaining on people not caring enough to install something else, that something else not being available, or are they offering something Chrome and Opera don't (won't) have?

Yes.

I guess this is the wrong place to ask how many of y'all don't use the browser that came with your device, huh?
Googling browser market share for mobile devices has a lot of contradictory information. Maybe that's why he didn't.
Poor Dolphin. They're like the Opera of the mobile set.

How so?

I tend to use the browser that is built into the phone, both of my iOS and Android devices. There are only so many hours in the day and which browser is most efficient on the mobile OS doesn't make the cut on things to worry about. I figure if I don't really care and I'm a pretty tech savvy person then the average user definitely can't be bothered.
