An anonymous reader submitted a story about Blake Ross and his involvement in the Firefox project. Just the latest in a steady stream of Firefox PR pieces, although with a more human take than just the 'Firefox is a good browser' stories.

Again, they could care less about the browser wars.

Sorry, a bit off-topic, but I had to respond. Why does it seem everyone says that people "could care less"? If they could care less, then that implies they care. Shouldn't it be "couldn't care less"?

It *should* be, but Americans have butchered the phrase to the degree that "could care less" is now accepted usage un the US, despite it being nonsensical.
