Mozilla and Google's "Don't-Be-Evil" Bulldozer

Posted by timothy on from the not-a-transcript-but-better-than-one dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Mozilla execs John Lilly and Mitchell Baker were interviewed at the WSJ's All Things Digital conference last week. In a wide-ranging conversation, they discussed the history of Firefox, proprietary versus Open Source development and the debut of Chrome and Mozilla's changing relationship with Google. A great interview. Well worth reading. There's video as well."

  1. Yay for bullshitting ourselves by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    The question is, will we be able to look at ourselves when we've created the next Microsoft?

  2. Nothing new by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    The "Don't be Evil" moniker is as much a bull-shitty marketing slogan when Google said it as when Mozilla Corporation utters it.

    Only only need dig a little deeper to find the evidence: their ongoing "Data (tm)" initiative, mining installers with extra tracking to certain users, etc.

    But most people don't; they're too busy clucking about whose JS engine finishes a test suite milliseconds faster and "OMG <video>."
