Mozilla Debates Whether to Trust Chinese CA

,----[ Quote ]
| Sometimes geeky technical details matter only 
| to engineers. But sometimes a seemingly arcane 
| technical decision exposes deep social or 
| political divisions. A classic example is 
| being debated within the Mozilla project now, 
| as designers decide whether the Mozilla 
| Firefox browser should trust a Chinese 
| certification authority by default.

NoteCase: Much More Than a Mindless Text Drone

,----[ Quote ]
| Note-taking applications are often dead-simple 
| apps that do little more than display typed 
| characters on a screen. NoteCase does more 
| than that, though it also doesn't let itself 
| get bogged down with so many features that it 
| would qualify more as a word processing app. 
| NoteCase's forte has to do with organizing 
| your notes in a sensible, tree-like system.

Making Thunderbird Financially Sustainable: How it Could Work

,----[ Quote ]
| As Mozilla Messaging looks to monetize its
| services, the project should think strongly
| about providing a top-to-bottom solution. Not
| just connecting with other services, but
| providing the mail hosting and services that
| users want. Mozilla Messaging and Status.net
| (which provides the popular Identi.ca
| microblogging service) seem like natural
| allies, for example. I'm not entirely sure what
| a successful model would look like â but merely
| providing a client or add-on for existing
| services doesn't seem the surest path to
| success. And I do want to see Mozilla succeed
| here, for a couple of reasons.
