While they didn’t give many specific details, they said the release would be “in the coming weeks”. While they didn’t specify what phones, Verizon CEO and Google CEO were holding what seems [...]
We all know that Microsoft hates their competition and will do anything to eliminate it (but not before stealing it’s technology). While you may think it’s just another bug in Microsoft’s programming, some seem to think they are trying to sabotage Firefox and their growing market-share.
