- JadeNB 11y agoI wondered at the monumental self-centredness of calling the start-up "Gong Fishing", but it appears to be just a typo for "Gone Fishing".
- irvinfly 11y agoYeah that's my typo, and it's still an nickname according to last week's CNET http://www.cnet.com/news/firefox-os-in-flux-as-mozilla-loses-technology-chief-to-startup/ http://www.cnet.com/news/firefox-os-in-flux-as-mozilla-loses...
- JadeNB 11y agoWhere does the title of the post come from? I guess 'poach' is meant to be 'poaches', but the title of the linked article seems to be "China Poaches Top Talent from Mozilla Taiwan for IoT Projects", which is at least as informative, and subtly different. (Also, the linked article refers to the relevant poacher as Gong Li, not Li Gong; but I know that converting name order from Chinese meaningfully to English is a tricky business.)
