From the Isn't-It-Totally-Obvious Department.
Business 2.0 wonders
why Sequoia Capital invested in a startup founded by the 19-year-old
who turned Mozilla into Firefox. Isn't it obvious? Adware. The best
place to bake it in is in the browser itself. He who controls the
browser gets the money, now that Google has broken the barrier. The ads
move from the Web page into the browser, and so does the money. How
long before the “content industry” figures this out? All of a sudden
the NY Times buyout of About.Com looks like a really bad deal. [Scripting News]
