THE MOZZARELLA Foundation has announced that it has culled its Mozilla browser in favour of its cut down cousin Firefox.

In a press statement on the Foundation's site, it says that it will no longer develop the Mozilla browser.

It intends that the 1.7.x line of releases will be the last maintained versions released by the Foundation.

Of course if anyone in the Open Sauce community wants to develop Mozilla there is nothing to really stop them. However as far as the foundation is concerned the Firefox browser and Thunderbird e-mail client is all that is important.

This is not good news for those who use the Mozilla suite. But that's show biz. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
