I understand the "copyrights" arguments for closed source software in specific / hardware related use.
But for a "standard" Internet browser, that really makes me itch and ask the question ... Why?
Is it just "old-school" business habits or is there something to hide behind the "free" mask? (Insert evil, cliff-hanger, music... Mouahaha!)
Also, people just need to realize (and accept I guess) that anytime you are "connected", be it Internet, Celllar, WiFi or even BlueTooth. You have an open security "risk". Thats one of the reasons why critical security systems like Nuclear Plants are closed and "stand-alone".
On a related note, I suggest reading the really interesting story about The Stuxnet virus Vs The Iran Nuclear Program.
Cheers!
