No Surprise Microsoft Are Rebranding Their Internet Explorer!

Should I be surprised that Microsoft is rebranding and redeveloping their Internet Explorer? Over the decade, the 2nd browser wars, as the first war was between Netscape and Internet Explorer, which Internet Explorer won by default. The 2nd Browser wars is because Google's Chrome, Firefox and a whole bunch of other smaller browsers. They were all known because people just didn't like Internet Explorer, as Internet Explorer was built in with Windows and etc.

It's as browsers now a days are a everyday essential software but people must be aware that it's a choice to use a browser, not a must have packaged in Windows software. Even the infamous pirate bay has even taken the time to offer people a web browser to get around the 'problems' that people face when downloading illegal contents.

Some of Microsoft products last extremely long, I haven't even finished Age of Empires 2 yet and that's a massive computer game, I think Microsoft has accepted that browsers are part of everyday life in the internet and it shares the massive statement if they are going out of the way to re-brand their explorer to enter the market of internet explorers like Chrome and Firefox.

Five E-Services Which Could Go Retail in Future

After news that Amazon is openning a retail store in New York, I started to wonder which other major online services will do the same thing within the future.

PlayStation Store

Sony already has stores around the world. It should be no surprise that the PlayStation Store service that can be seen and used from people's PlayStation 3 and 4, to the point where it would be popular enough in the future, for Sony to start setting up stores just focused entirely on gaming. The PlayStation already is doing everything they can to make the PlayStation worth while. Japan, let along Sony always relied on exports for business to date, Sony, being the only Japanese company on this list, is more likely going to retail from an E-Service found on people's PlayStation.

Facebook

Facebook is already working on the Ocolus Rift after the buy out. Also the Facebook Phone which never taken off was made, so it makes me wonder where Facebook will take the data and start inviting new stuff to the point where they would open a story in their own city, New York. Facebook has always faced with some messy business and everyone wants in, so it's worth thinking about.

MySpace

The amount of record contacts that MySpaces has made is something. Maybe not enough of it but maybe in the future, they get the music business mixed with the internet figured out to the point where everyone is buying singles. Of course, there's already a bunch of popularity there, with artists already getting record deals and selling their singles and albums. MySpace is one to look into it, to check some interest, where they will open their own record store.

AOL

AOL have been around long enough and being a nationwide service for boardband, they're not afraid to sample out content from time to time. AOL has been offering exclusive services for the most part however this has always been swept under the rug and forgotten about, (like Magestorm) compared to their CDs they were carpet bombing too much anyone that got their hands on a few, if not one.

AOL may one day united all of the United States of America internet and produce something more then just a  annoying CD promoting their service, to the point where they have to open a store. AOL is that powerful to do so.

Google

Major sucking up when I say and post this. Clearly Google has their Androids smartphones out, Their Google Glasses and smart smoke alarms in the future and who knows if they start selling on the spot lottery tickets.

Don't let the Youtube April Fools on DVDs get to you. It's actually possible for someone to become successful enough to have their own DVD series, just not like the April Fools joke described it, for it not to let it happen.

Google in the future is something that no one knows, but with their current product line up, it makes you wonder how they are going to make the most out of their resources.

This is just a start of physical stores. It shouldn't be a surprise if the Internet is going to slowly change our lifestyle and be known. It's something worth thinking about if Amazon has openned their first store in New York.
