Ah, the #NSA using #Angry #Birds to snoop! 🕵️‍♂️ Because nothing screams "national security threat" like a furious avian projectile 🐦💥. Good thing IE 11 is out, because the browser's biggest vulnerability was probably just trying to open this mess of an article. 😂🔍

NBC News · NSA spied through Angry Birds, other apps: reportBy Raphael Satter

There used to be a commercial version of
#Firefox originally.
It was called
#NetscapeNavigator.
Then
#Microsoft made #InternetExplorer and released it for free.
Then you saw most websites have a little plaque on their home page "Designed to work with
#Internet #Explorer".
Then Netscape went away and Firefox was born.
Then you saw
#Google release its own #Chrome #browser.
And
#Apple. (Internet Explorer and Firefox were both available for the Mac originally).
And then Apple borrowed the source code for the
#Konqueror #web #browser from the #KDEProject and release their browser for free. (Apple didn't pay anything to the #KDE #project too by the way.)
See a pattern here?
They already tried charging for a browser.
#Netscape #Navigator cost $19.95 back in the day.
It didn't work.
