Chrome Surpasses Safari in U.S.

Internet users in the U.S. have finally caught up with the rest of the world in their browser choice today, with Google’s Chrome taking over third place from default Apple browser Safari. The browser, first released just two years ago, has led Safari worldwide since last September, but just this week surpassed it in the U.S. as well, according to Internet traffic analytics company StatCounter.

现在美国互联网用户在他们的浏览器选择这个问题终于赶上世界上的其他地区,Google的Chrome从苹果默认的浏览器Safari手中接管了第三名的位置。Chrome这个浏览器发布的时间才两年,已经领先Safari是从去年9月开始,但是这周才在美国赶超它,报告来自互联网浏量分析公司StatCounter。

For some, this is seen as a big win for Google over Apple, as the two companies battle over the search and mobile spheres.

这些看作Google对苹果的一个大胜利,这两家公司的竞争还覆盖到搜索与移动领域。

Google Counters Apple’s HTML5 Showcase With HTML5Rocks

Earlier this month, Apple unveiled a new site to showcase HTML5. On it, Apple showed off a number of impressive web demos coded using only HTML5 technologies. However, at least on the main page, these demos were restricted to working on only Apple’s Safari web browser. So now Google is countering with its own HTML5 site — called, get this, HTML5Rocks.

这个月早些时候,苹果公布一个新站点用来展示HTML5。在这个站点里,苹果展示了一个仅使用HTML5编码技术的站点,令人印象深刻。然而,至少在主页面,这些示例的运行被限制在苹果的Sofari这个浏览器里。现在Google用它自己的HTML5站点来反击,称之为HTML5Rocks。

Google and Apple are arguably the two biggest companies attempting to push HTML5 forward. Notably, both also dominate updates to the WebKit rendering engine (with both Safari and Google Chrome use). But both also seem a bit at odds with HTML5 because both have popular mobile platforms that use native applications not coded with HTML5. In recent weeks though, the two companies (which are in the middle of a war with one another) seem to be trying to show that each is fully committed to the open web.

Google与苹果,可以说是两个最大的公司在试图推动HTML5发展。显然,两家公司也在主导更新WebKit的渲染引擎(Safari与Google Chrome都在用这个)。但是两家公司的HTML5看起来也有点不一样,因为两家公司都有受欢迎的本地应用的手机平台不是使用HTML5编码的。虽然最近几周,这两家公司看起来在尝试展示各自致力的开放站点。

More than half the 2,733 developers surveyed by Appcelerator, a mobile-software tools provider, see Android as having the most long-term potential among operating systems. About 40 percent of respondents said Apple’s iOS would have the best long-term outlook, according to the survey released today.

手机软件工具提供商Appcelerator调查了2733名开发者,超过一半的开发者认为Android在操作系统中最有长期潜力。根据这份调查,大约有40%的反馈者说,苹果的iOS最有前景。

The study yields another signal that Android is gaining steam on iOS, which will power the new iPhone 4, Bloomberg Businessweek.com reported. With some 60 Android-based devices and more than 60,000 apps available, the operating system is adding more than 100,000 users daily, according to Mountain View, California-based Google. Android will eclipse iOS as the world’s second-most-popular mobile operating software in 2012, researcher Gartner Inc. has said.
