Lowering the quality is a very bad option for a supplier. Especially 
you can only do this if you sell directly to the end-market. Otherwise 
your client won't accept lowe quality.

Nevertheless you have scrap out there and the chances are high with 
real no-names. But this comes from a lot of them think, some products 
are easy to manufactor. But this is not the case. Building a real 
good washing machine like a Miele is everything than simple. Even 
if you disassemble the machine you are not able to clone it.

...interesting, why not robert? I never understood
this fact and heard it many times by business owner
when talking about the danger of cloned products.

Robert, I agree that purposely lowering quality of products only 
works with end-users.

TomBon, to clone a Miele, one would need the same materials, production 
processes and suppliers as Miele use. Basically you would need their 
production facilities and engineers. And I know that people's image 
of Miele is of their reliability, not their product design or by 
them having low prices. Reliability is the hardest part to clone, 
so people would naturally be suspicious about a cloned Miele. Cloned, 
cheaper spare parts may be a different matter.

One place where buying a clone might be a serious mistake is the 
case for some Chinese luxury cars. They look like any other luxury 
car, but are built on 30-40 year old chassis frames using substandard 
quality steel and are some of the worst performers in crash tests, 
and many warnings have been issued against buying them. They don't 
yet have the capacity to produce cars that live up to modern safety 
standards. The cars are not directly clones, but it's enough to get 
confused by, if you want a big fancy car.

New google browser ... goodbye Firefox??

New google browser that uses multiple cores and javascript threads 
with sandboxing between tabs.

is this the end of FF?

And new platform to develop applications I guess.

End of FF? Hardly - FF is an established platform already - some 
40% in Europe already - very nice result, when fighting preinstalled 
IE is a problem. FF itself is an extensible platform. Then there 
is also Opera, with its widgets - can you see revolution happening 
here? Google's power is over-estimated imo. Their Android was supposed 
to be a revolution too, but I am not sure they will win much of mobile 
appliances too ....

I like safari that's amazing stable and fast  ^___^. I have installed 
opera and firefox on my computer I  never use IE.

In some Video on demand sites I see a tendancy to use Windows media 
player plugin forcing you to use PCx86  with IE and nothing else 
...

for my LCD monitor I'm screwed ... LOL and that's literally that. 
Ok so I intented to disamble my LCD monitor but there is no screws 
to open it... I still wonder how to open it ...

there is Win media player for FF too (Windows)

Pekr yes but those site implement a javascript with version checking 
that launch the plugin only if the browser answer the right way

pekr try www.m6replay.fr for example

using firefox -> that's a plain and simple no welcome page you can't 
even acces the website content

M6replay is a VOD website to replay the series or emitions from the 
M6 TV channel wich is supposed to be view by a large number of people

yeeeeeeeeeepiiiiiiiii

I managed to open my lcd monitor ^^

it's  locked only by a cliping system and 6 screw hiden behin the 
pedestal

to know the lcd monitor mark I have to disasembly it fully  that's 
a chunghwha ^^

I identified clearly what condensor is dead  that the only 16V 1000 
µF on the board ....

the design is really cheap no redundance fixing it including the 
cost  of the tolls should cost me 9 euros  ^^

compared to the supply CM design of a LCD monitor from HP mine is 
like 10 times with less components

i think I will change the condensor to a 25V /1000µF

but even a regular 16V 1000µF would still do it  ^^ (since the components 
you by in details shop are from far a better quality than those the 
crafter use  ^^)

Google set to introduce its own browser

http://www.reuters.com/article/newsOne/idUSWEN771820080902

Umm... see the top of this page!

google browser is based on netscape design ?

Appears not.

an adaptation of IE ? lol

joke sorry ...

it's derived from lynx

it's doesn't  support REBOL  so i don't give a damn  :P

page 2 of the article Mozilla recently introduced its own upgraded 
browser, Firefox 3, and has collaborated with Google on a variety 
of technical issues, including a system for reporting software crashes 
and to make software browsers more secure.

so based on firefox  :P

well with all those browser on my computer I  will not have any space 
left to install games :P

plus carl who want to turn VID  into a webrowser T____T

It will have Gears built in...

Now only if we could write Gears Apps in rebol than I would use it.

gears apps are written in Java??

I believe Jave script

really!

javascript to rebol :P

but hum javascript does 10  times lesser things than rebol does

It hits the DOM though

why we don't all mail to Google and tell them all those languages 
are deprecated and for the next generation of webrowser what they 
need it rebol :P

doesn't it need to be finished yet??

ie. not alpha ...
