I’ve added Digg to my general lunch time reading web sites. I came across this yesterday. Microsoft invites Firefox development team to Redmond .
Well, isn’t that nice, the big boy opening his pond (including all the sharks) to the little fish. (if you don’t get it, it’s a line from Die Hard 2 about pissing in somebody else’s pond) What’s funny about the article is not the article but some of the comments, here are but a few.
- Cool. Very cool.
- they’re going to brainwash them into working for microsoft and their going to cast off the IE team to replace the firefox team
- Just replace IE 7 with FF 2.0. Save every web developer 100s of hours.
- “Come into my parlour,” said the spider to the fly
- DON’T DO IT! My god, has noone seen Braveheart? The Untouchables? The Godfather? Scarface?
- hey’re going to kidnap the Mozilla developers with a cunning trail of pizza and cola, and force them to work on IE8.
- ITS A TRAP! http://itsatrap.ytmnd.com/
I like the last one, maybe just because of the cool picture on referenced site.
I see today an official response Firefox welcomes Microsoft’s offer of help
