How much does an ad in the NYT cost?? 250K is enough to buy a house, or a superbadass server farm, or a Ferrari! You can't seriously tell me that an ad in the times costs as much as a Ferrari, that's ludicrous. They definitely need to take that extra money and go for some television ads. Or even give some to the developers, they deserve it.

  The NYT ad will cost less than $50k.. The rest of the $250k will be used by the Mozilla Foundation for other needs (promotions, developers, equipment, etc..)
