truthsearch writes "Internetnews.com wonders about the money Firefox is making in revenue thanks to Google. From the article: 'Mozilla gets paid a publicly undisclosed amount for each Google search query made from Firefox by a user.' This revenue is used to pay the recently formed Mozilla Corporation's 40 full-time equivalent employees and fund project and infrastructure development."

    Skype doesn't work as well with AMD CPUs as it does with Intel CPUs and it was deliberately engineered to not work as well with AMD CPUs.

    I think you meant to say 'it was not deliberately engineered to work as well with AMD cpus.'

    Software optimization is often carried out to tune a piece of software to the dominant processor.

    And yes, I'm sure this was probably the topic of a huge ill-informed flamefest here on slashdot sometime in the past that I was lucky to miss.
