Mozilla Reponds - We Call the Shots, Not Google.
An anonymous reader writes "Recent articles in the New York Times and at CNET have highlighted the growing concern that Google holds significant power and influence over Firefox's development. In an interview published today, Mozilla's technology strategist Mike Shaver did his best to proclaim Mozilla's independence. Yes, Google pays Mozilla $56 million per year, Google is the default search engine, and supplier of many of the browser's features (anti-phishing, anti-malware, incorrect URL resolution). Shaver insists that in spite of these ties, Mozilla still calls the shots over Firefox's development."
Mozilla still calls the shots over Firefox's development.
Not only that, they write the songs that make the whole world sing.

OK, let's move on then.
You see? You see? Your stupid minds! Stupid! Stupid!
Everyone knows the root of reponds is pond, which is a body of water, often man-made, smaller than a lake.
We also know that bodies of water reflect light off their surface, and further, we know that to reflect means to consider.
To pond is to consider.
A ponder is one who considers.
To repond is to reconsider.
Reponds means reconsiders.
Perhaps you'd like to repond your assumption that reponds is not a perfectly cromulent word?

No, it's because most of the time people just want their browsing history cleared (so people don't see what naughty perverts they are), yet don't want their logins/preferences to be lost. Choice is good, checkboxes are good.
Try this: Click "Tools" -> "Remove tin foil hat"
Buckle your ROFL belt, we're in for some LOLs.
Yes the first thing I do after installing Linux is to search for "Internet Explorer" in Google to download and install it. Now because of your brilliant idea, people like me would install Firefox instead.

Thank god for re ponding. I have always worried what Global Warming was going to do to the water supply, Good to know that Mozilla is on top of it!!!
asa said "google for it". Obviously a conspiracy. If Google and Mozilla weren't in cahoots asa would have said "search for it with the search engine of your choice".
