+==== Google ====
+* Chromium's new [http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome?view=rev&revision=185548 threaded HTML parser] loads content about 10% faster and reduces the maximum stop time due to parsing by 40%.
+* Google and MPEG LA, LLC [http://blog.webmproject.org/2013/03/vp8-and-mpeg-la.html announced agreements that will result in MPEG LA ending its efforts to form a VP8 patent pool]. It allows Google to sublicense the rights, meaning that effectively, VP8/WebM are much safer for developers, device manufacturers, content owners and others to use. [http://www.w3.org/QA/2013/03/good_news_about_vp8_licensing.html Jeff Jaffe of the W3C applauded the announcement].
+* Google is continuing to invest in its Native Client plugin architecture, announcing that [http://techcrunch.com/2013/02/22/google-ports-quickoffice-to-native-client-for-chrome-will-launch-with-full-editing-features-in-about-3-months/ Quickoffice would be ported to the platform].
+==== Microsoft ====
+* Microsoft [http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2013/03/12/march-2013-internet-explorer-updates.aspx released nine critical fixes] for Internet Explorer 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10. A fix for Adobe Flash Player was also released. The fixes, however, did not address the vulnerabilities found in the Pwn2Own contest last week.
+* In related news [http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2013/03/11/flash-in-windows-8.aspx Microsoft announced that all Flash content is whitelisted in MSIE10 in Windows 8 Modern mode and Windows RT]
+==== Tizen ====
+* The web browser included in the Tizen Beta 2.0 SDK is now the highest scoring mobile browser at html5test.com, with a [http://www.tizenexperts.com/2013/03/move-blackberry-mobile-html5-king-here-49216/ total of 492 points + 16 bonus points].
+==== WebKit ====
+* The Ace editor, which powers the Cloud9 web-based IDE, [http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/144615 has been included in the Web Inspector] as an experiment.
+* The WebKit calendar picker UI has been [http://peter.sh/files/webkit-calendar-1.png improved].
+==== Security ====
+* Firefox, Chrome, MSIE, Adobe Flash, Adobe Reader and Java [http://www.infoworld.com/d/security/researchers-rake-in-280k-pwn2own-hacking-contest-214124 were all compromised at the 2013 Pwn2Own contest]. A total of US $280,000 was handed out in prizes.

 * Andy Rubin is stepping down from leading Android. Sundar Pichai will take over, alongside running Chrome and Apps at Google.
 * Opera put the beta for its Webkit - based version in the Google Play Store. It has a 3.9 / 5 star rating and under Opera Mobile (4.5 stars). Features promoted in the first - run experience are: off - road mode (switcher to proxy browsing), Speed Dial and Discover (content recommendation engine). The overall performance is good and smooth. The Discover feature gathers news based on location, the default one was the United States, even though I wasn't in the US when I installed it. The Settings menu is in the upper right corner and has a counter for data savings when enabling Off - Road Mode, in Bytes and %s.
 * Opera re - organized its advertisement business into one subsidiary called Opera Mediaworks. The re-organization will allow easier evaluation of the company, making potential acquisition talks easier. This comes one month after its founder sold shares to reduce its stake to only 5.18%.
 * Chrome Beta for Android includes an experimental feature for proxy - browsing. Google claims it reduces data usage by 50%.
 * New Android version distribution numbers: Gingerbread (more than 2 years old) at over 40% of the market, followed by ICS (more than 1 year old) at 29% and Jelly Bean (15%). A new version of Android expected at Google I/O in May.
 * Specs of a rumoured new Facebook phone produced by HTC surfaced. It's a mid - range device, with dual - core 1.5 GHZ Qualcomm processor, 1 GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage, running on Jelly Bean. Launch is expected this spring for the US.
+* Apple share in India spikes because of a new distribution model they employed. Instead of relying on own retail stores or carrier distribution they worked with small retail places and creating amortized payment plans to incentivize acquisition.
