Calling comex a "fawning fanboy"? That's ballsy for a throwaway account.

Wouldn't comex be the "Google" in the comment, rather than the "fanboy"?

Claiming that Chrome pioneered sandboxing doesn't pass the smell test, irrespective of how many Google employees (according to your profile) are backing you up.

No one is claiming that Google invented sandboxing. You should stop lying to push your bias because it only makes you look foolish.

But do you know who comex is? People sometimes are not exactly precise and sometimes make mistakes too.

  But do you know who comex is?
I didn't, and it was not that easy to find out, but I was curious. He is Nicholas Allegra and he is known for jailbreaking the iPhone. See http://www.androidbeat.com/2013/04/google-comex/ and http://www.forbes.com/sites/andygreenberg/2011/08/01/meet-co.... He went on to work for Apple and now for Google, apparently on the Chome or Chrome OS teams.

Damn, now honestthrowaway looks even more foolish. I can understand why he used a throwaway now.
