So much for "Don't be evil." That motto's out the door.
But on the other hand, this might quite exciting. More companies will now compete in the "don't be evil" space. And Mozilla can pick up the baton.
- Karunamon 12y agoApparently, not directly funding a direct competitor is now seen as "evil". We're really letting the definition of that word slip, yknow? It used to be you had to actually hurt people some way before that label could apply, now I'm seeing it applied to the layout of UI elements on a screen.
- hammerandtongs 12y agoWhy exactly would google view mozilla as a business competitor?
- bpicolo 12y agoBecause they are in direct competition for a product generating hundreds of millions of dollars a year?

- nashashmi 12y agoI keep getting downvoted, which is why I'll reply: I never knew that google funded summer interns to work on other's projects. Now that I know, it shines a different light. I always thought that SoC program was a platform to encourage young coders of great feats to apply. Isolating any one company from providing work to young engineers on such a platform is not exactly fair, especially once it has been established and continues to be a center of attention. But if it is a paid program from Google, I have mixed feelings at Mozilla being eliminated.
