After the demise of Firefox OS, Mozilla is finding it hard to come up with another useless thing to burn money in.

  Ironically enough, I really enjoyed my Geeksphone Keon, and it's Firefox OS platform. I liked the idea of making phone apps in HTML, CSS and JS and having them interact with native APIs through a standardized way. It's a shame it didn't work out. :/

  They're in the best position to create an IoT / home server OS that does self-hosted calendar, email, pocket, facebook clone, baby photos backup, etc. It's so sad they didn't go down that path and play to their strengths (openness/open source) and against the weaknesses of the other behemoths and instead decided to compete with android head on. There's a dire need for a product like this with a lot of engineering muscle behind it (and not just because of snowden) just as there was for a real smartphone OS in 2007 that ordinary people could use.

    Completely agree. How do we make it happen?
