Unfortunately hipsters alone can't sustain an entire market.

The horror... the horror...
doshindudeAug 20, 2010
Yeah, I know, this article is horrible.

I'm surprised the iPod and iPhone and iPad are not dead yet...
.. you know with all the "killers" out there.
scabnabbitAug 19, 2010
I could wish nothing more than being a laughingstock over saying non-tiered internet service will be dead.
hipmanAug 20, 2010
I'm not sure I understood that....

I think we can all agree that Firefox killed internet explorer.
Now to wait patiently for an even more awesome browser to destroy Firefox....
stickyheadAug 19, 2010
IE is still the most popular browser. How is that "killed"?
captobliviousAug 20, 2010
IE is still the default browser in windows. How is that "killed"?
FIFY

The current version of Firefox has a larger market share than IE6, 7 or 8.
invaderdemAug 20, 2010
He means Chrome, people!
Go, be free ... wonder what awesome browser he's talking about NO LONGER.
Life your life!
aminy23Aug 20, 2010
Firefox indeed killed IE, but Chrome is killing Firefox.
prolikewhoaAug 20, 2010
Not so fast, Chrome. FF is still king.

That article about the web being dead was f**king retarded.
The web is not html or web sites. The web is content. The fact that people can access that content more efficiently through apps now does not mean the web is dying, it just means that outdated websites that survive on "ARE YOU A f**kING RETARD?!?!? CLICK HERE!!!!" banner ads are, thankfully, dying out.

i remember a time before the excessive infestation of banner ads. the web is nowhere near dead.

but of course, people tend to make up their own definitions based on how things "feel". that doesn't mean you're right.

Wired May, 1997 cover story: "Kiss your browser goodbye: The radical future of media beyond the Web"http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/5.03/
Nuff, said?

The only people less clued about the tech industry than the tech bloggers, are their idiot fans.

Nice!

A lot of the stuff I can agree with - but Flash is far from dead. Until HTML5 is standard and can easily replicate what people can do in Flash, Flash will still be the prominent media for a long time.
johnfluxAug 20, 2010
Not just replicate, but surpass. And there have to be tools for HTML 5 which are better.

Wired? Commenting on what's "dead?" Has anyone over the age of 16 looked at that magazine in 5 years? They turned it into a "Maxim" for geeks...looks like friggin' comic book..
Wired is dead. And it's an anagram for WEIRD.Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.

So.... what would you call all that time I spend on the internet when I'm not sleeping?
milkmageAug 20, 2010
Gee. and I thought people who jumped to conclusions only did it for articles about apple and obama
this is the WIRED head line.
The Web Is Dead. Long Live the Internet.
he explains what he means here.
You wake up and check your email on your bedside iPad — that’s one app. During breakfast you browse Facebook, Twitter, and The New York Times — three more apps. On the way to the office, you listen to a podcast on your smartphone. Another app. At work, you scroll through RSS feeds in a reader and have Skype and IM conversations. More apps. At the end of the day, you come home, make dinner while listening to Pandora, play some games on Xbox Live, and watch a movie on Netflix’s streaming service.
You’ve spent the day on the Internet — but not on the Web. And you are not alone.
"platforms that use the Internet for transport but not the browser for display"
3 years ago, i did ALL OF THIS IN A BROWSER.. now I have apps for 30-40% of it.
I get a lot of my feeds via an rss app, why? because on the road, over 3g, I don't want to wait for all the other s**t in webpages to load. With google mobilizer or instapaper mobilizer, all the crap is stripped before it's sent to my phone.
I use the amazon app instead of the website because it's got a better layout (IMO)
I use apps for IMDB and BBC and others for the same reason.
browsers might be more of a niche application in the future..
doshindudeAug 20, 2010
What the f**k is s**t s**t?
IE is still very much alive, despite how we all hate it so very much (majority market share doesn't lie)
Office is still the best and most used office suite (GDocs/OpenOffice aren't even close yet)
I wouldn't exactly call the Mac dead at this time. There are more Macs now than ever. The PowerPC chips were old, s**tty, and overheated easily, Intel was just simply better.
Too many other plain inaccuracies for me to mention, this article is bulls**t, buried.
mooretedAug 21, 2010
Market share doesn't mean much. It's amazing how many people think Windows is the computer and IE is the Internet. I still get people saying, "What's Firefox?". People buy a computer, plug it in and surf. It's like a toaster to them. If Firefox was the default browser on Windows machines then Firefox would have all the market share.

It's fashionable to declare things "dead". Basically, it says, "I've evolved past this technology. If you are still using it, you are petty and have old-fashioned needs." It also makes you seem like some forward-looking visionary.
fredrockbluffAug 20, 2010
Um... none of those things are dead IMO. Facebook, twitter, email, iPod, Macintosh... pretty much everyone I know still uses a selected combination of these.

They're not dead, they're resting.

So edgy. Right the cusp of irrelevancy eh PC World. You know what will kill the web and all your other gadgets. One giant EMP. Trying to sell magazines with "I said it first, I said it first." You know what's dying, magazines like PC World. There I said it first.
