I found the headline a bit ridiculous to say the least. It seems to suggest that working from home is particularly popular, until you realize that the US probably has an exceptionally low rate of people walking or biking to office jobs. So

Google is primarily a capitalist corporation and by definition not altruistic. It's accountable to its shareholders; if the CEO couldn't make a case for e.g. how employees spending part of their time on side projects somehow benef

To be honest I'm not even sure what the point of the video is. There's a lack of context since Mozilla hasn't even announced the new logo yet in written form -- we can expect a blog post later today. I perceived the video as

I don't see how this compares to Yahoo, as Mozilla hasn't been a very strong brand to start with (as opposed to Firefox). I think the idea is to try to better establish it as a geeky brand next to the more consumer-oriented Firefo

AFAIK this isn't going to affect the Firefox brand nor the Firefox UI. Coincidentally however there is a visual refresh planned for Firefox: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1325171
