Mozilla Sends Cake to Microsoft IE Team for IE10 Congrats

[COLGeek]

Humor always makes the the day go better. I just wonder what might have been in the cake??

Cake looks yummy! Nice move Mozilla.

If M$ delivered a cake whenever Mozilla released a version they'd be bankrupt.

Answer:
Cake.

Despite their minor differences, Mozilla and IE's team have usually gotten along pretty well.

Nahh, a cake with jelly beans would've been better.

I think Microsoft and Mozilla realize there is a big enough pie (forgive the pun) for them both to do well, and they have been around long enough to know this. Much like Intel does not mind having AMD around.

Google on the other hand, I think is viewed by both as potentially far more dangerous, as they seem to want the whole pie for themselves, and seem to have their tentacles in everything. They are persona non grata in this whole affair.

How about a cake with a map on it... with some purple tint to it.

Yes it's lovely...

Nothing says IE10 better than a big Firefox logo on the cake. Makes me wonder now if Microsoft put a big blue "e" on the cakes they sent Mozilla.....

i think this is ironic, and that has to be where the humor in competition comes from. in terms of web programming and development, Internet Explorer is the bane of all developers world wide. you can write code that looks great on every browser, from opera to chrome to mozilla to safari, and the finished product is still buggy as hell with internet explorer.

It would be such a wonderful world if people wouldn't be stuck with a Internet Explorer 6-8 whole-craptastic mentality.

We're at version 10 now.

And at least one client will say:

"But it won't work with this browser! I want it fixed!"

And such client is pointing at a computer, with IE6.

I think Ubuntu or LinuxMint team should send a cake to Win8 team, just because more and more people are exploring alternate to windows OS after using Win8.

It's a nice move

Why do people fall for public relations stunts like this?

 

[xeranar]

The workers see no reason not to share in the glory of their own handiwork. The companies only see the profit won and loss in each cycle. This simply shows it.

 

[Guest]

I don't know much about cake but I know what I like. I like that cake.

 

[xalted]

A pleasant reminder that not all people who work for these companies are d-bags.

 

[Haelth]

Google should send Apple a Jellybean.
