Surfing on Fire

Surfing the Web on the Kindle Fire is fast and that's because of how the browser is built.  The browser (called Silk) is just a computer program and it is put together in a new, clever way.  It lets other computers (not your Kindle) do all the hard work involved in getting the stuff that shows up on your screen.  These other computers are big and fast and are part of the Amazon system (you don't even need to know they exist).

So what all that means is that a lot of things get done for you all at once and you don't have to sit there waiting for a page to display.  I think Apple is in trouble.
