Most everyone loves Thanksgiving turkeys. But IT industry turkeys? Not so much. We look at 10 examples of 'turkeys' that have disappointed the tech industry this year.
"This accomplishment is a direct result of our continually growing Mozilla community and Firefox supporters, like yourself," the Mozilla organization said in a statement issued via e-mail. It expects the number could be reached as early as this weekend, and it's started a countdown via Twitter to keep people posted. As of Thursday afternoon, the number stood at 999,024,648 downloads of the multi-platform browser.
By another measure, market share, Firefox has continued to make inroads as well. As of this quarter, Net Applications -- which measures browser share metrics -- had Firefox with 22.39 percent of the market. That's second only to Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser, which Net Applications has pegged at 65.85 percent. Apple's Safari browser is next at 8.46 percent share.
The numbers mark a stark shift over the past yea; for the same quarter in 2008, IE held 72.22 percent share and Firefox 19.48 percent. In a software industry where Microsoft rivals have sometimes spent years fighting to take a fraction of a percent of market share, the numbers don't indicate a landslide but do indicate strong momentum for Mozilla's browser.
