Ars Technica Interviews Scott Collins

SnoopTodd writes "Ars Technica has an interview with Scott Collins of Mozilla. 'That's the thing I learned to lust after as a programmer. It's not my ability to solve one problem, to plow this field, but the ability to build a plow that every farmer uses. The ability to make something that touches not ten people, not a hundred people, not a thousand people but a hundred million people. I want Mozilla to be there again. IE is a browser with no soul. I want it to be Mozilla because I think that people who care deserve a browser with a soul.'"

  1. RANT: Goddamn I'm not using Mozilla anymore.... by greymond · · Score: 0, Troll

    This guy just sounds incredibly retarded...Some choice quotes...Copy + Paste

    "People and empires, they fall under their own weight, because they're the only ones heavy enough to take them down."

    "It's not going to be that somebody else actually knows better, because Microsoft actually does have a pretty good idea of what one generalized virtual person wants."

    "Microsoft will be the fall of Microsoft, and that's when the little pieces that cooperate with each other will thrive. Will Mozilla beat Microsoft? No. Can Mozilla thrive? Yes. What will make Mozilla thrive? Microsoft's fall under their own weight."

    - These are just from the first blurb, continueing to read the rest of the article leads me to belive that he is not talking about Mozilla development at all, or at least he has Mozilla confused with Star Wars and Microsoft with Darth Vadar and maybe Netscape is Wicket the Ewok or some shit, and coding is some new spiritual religion I just learned that creates souls in software....
