Happy Birthday, Mozilla
,----[ Quote ]
| On this day, eleven years ago, 31st March 1998, the Mozilla codebase was
| unleashed on the world with the simple command "Come and get it". And, since
| then, people have - at least 865 million times.

"To me, Bill is the great white shark that looks at minnows with no more
consciousness than we look at a plate of food. The shark has no soul. The
shark knows no boundaries. All it has is an appetite. When the shark gets
hungry, it thinks “I’m hungry”, so it eats."
--Mitch Kertzman, former CEO of Sybase

Internet Explorer 8 launch fails to dent Firefox
,----[ Quote ]
| The release of Internet Explorer 8 hasn't had any significant impact on
| Firefox or any other competing browser, data collected by StatsCounter shows.
| While the final release of IE8 increased its market share slightly on launch
| day to 1.39 percent, Firefox 3.0 grew more quickly and reached 25.38 percent.
| The most significant losses were for Internet Explorer 7: the outgoing
| browser lost 0.4 percent of the total share.

Firefox inches towards 50%, Safari holds steady
,----[ Quote ]
| These are the kind of stats that should make the Mozilla folks very happy.
| According to W3Schools data, Firefox climbed to 46.4% in February, while the
| various versions of IE dropped by 1.2% to 43.6%. Granted, this is skewed
| towards developers, but most sources agree that IE is on a downward slope.

Ten years of Mozilla
,----[ Quote ]
| Ten years ago, Netscape announced it would release to the public the code of
| its flag ship product, Netscape Communicator 5, making it an open source
| product. The action came at a time when Netscape was still the dominant web
| browser: 65 million users and 90% market share in the educational segment
| according to Netscape’s own accounts. But Microsoft’s Internet Explorer was
| grabbing share at a furious pace thanks to it being free (at a time Netscape
| was about$30) and specially the fact that it came bundled with Windows 95 and
| upcoming Windows 98 (released on June 1998).

Gates deposition videos
,----[ Quote ]
| Boies: Do you remember that in January, 1996, a lot of OEMs were
| bundling non-Microsoft browsers?
|
| Gates: I'm not sure.
|
| Boies: What were the non-Microsoft browsers that you were
| concerned about in January of 1996?
|
| Gates: What's the question? You're trying to get me to recall
| what other browsers I was thinking about when I wrote that sentence?
|
| Boies: No, because you've told me that you don't know what you
| were thinking about when you wrote that sentence.
|
| Gates: Right.
|
| Boies: What I'm trying to do is get you to tell me what
| non-Microsoft browsers you were concerned about in January of
| 1996. If it had been only one, I probably would have used the
| name of it. Instead I seem to be using the term non-Microsoft
| browsers. My question is what non-Microsoft browsers were you
| concerned about in January of 1996?
|
| Gates: I'm sure -- what's the question? Is it -- are you asking
| me about when I wrote this e-mail or what are you asking me about?
|
| Boies: I'm asking you about January of 1996.
|
| Gates: That month?
|
| Boies: Yes, sir.
|
| Gates: And what about it?
|
| Boies: What non-Microsoft browsers were you concerned about in
| January of 1996?
|
| Gates: I don't know what you mean "concerned."
|
| Boies: What is it about the word "concerned" that you don't
| understand?
|
| Gates: I'm not sure what you mean by it.
