I love stuff like this, anything that can break through the politics du jour brings a smile on my face

I guess the only thing Chrome is giving MS and Mozilla are heart attacks 😛

Would have been pretty funny if Google sent Apple a Gingerbread cake.

reminds me of AMD's I Heart You Mugs

It is lovely when everyone gets along.

Once you take away the greedy money managers and let the techs have at it the world gets a bit sunnier.
Nice gesture on both parts that shows some class !

 

[Cryio]

Great sportmanship. The Firefox and Internet Explorer teams are great folks.

 

[bak0n]

In response Microsoft was found discussing how to legally kill all those involved with Firefox. Oh wait. That was Apple but Steve Jobs is gone now. Let the Love continue!

 

[Estix]

Really, though, IE10 is good for Firefox (and Chrome, and Opera, and Safari), as it will mean more sites will go towards standards-compliance, and will make more HTML5 features usable to devs

It's all about the get is, "get is" is all the rage these days, all the kids are doin it

I have always appreciated this gesture between Mozilla and IE

 

[dthx]

I like that ! This is much nicer to read thant those neverending "xxxx" sued "yyy" stories we get to read most of the time.
We can be glad there's room for several browsers. The competition forces them all to become better with every release. I remember a time when Netscape had the only browser ... it was almost as stable as our 14.4k modem connection ...

no patten infringment on the cake?

 

[pedro_mann]

Apple and Samsung should take the hint.

I'de like to see a nice cake going out to Samsung, "Congrats on Nexus 10"

*txk, tsk!*

Your roomate's mother-in-law might be a cam**ore

and article related, things like this make me think that there are still people who don't care about which team are they playing for, as long as the game is fair play

 

[falchard]

I think the Mozilla staff justs wants a cake every 6 weeks instead of a cupcake.

 

[Old_Fogie_Late_Bloomer]

Now if Microsoft would only give Mozilla and the other web browser makers access to the APIs they need to make competitive browsers in Windows RT...

 

[sliem]

Random: The cake is a lie.

 

[bigdragon]

Tomorrow we'll read that the cake was laced with laxatives and the entire IE staff has called off work.

Hehe. Though the IE team were onto 'em 😛

Apple usually sends their cakes laced with grenades to their comp

A cake in appreciation for a fierce but fair competition. Competing against the best brings out the best in us also.

 

[ojas]

THE CAKE IS A LIE!!!!

Couldn't have said it better myself. I'm glad that there is a mutual respect despite the rivalry. I just wish that more professionals adopted this approach, rather than badmouthing their competitors and the like.
