I think HTML5 is one area where Mozilla has done very poorly at actually communicating what we have done.
people
We actually have a real community of people doing useful things.
backward days microsoft spend trying
We don't spend our days thinking about Microsoft or trying to get revenge on Microsoft. That's a really negative and backward way, and that's not how I want to live.
browser directly generally mozilla people
When people think of Mozilla, they generally think of the browser, but Mozilla is really much more than that. Mozilla is of interest to people who want an end-user application like our browser that's not tied directly into the Windows platform.
focused open reasons savvy software systems verify
We do care about control and privacy. It's one of the reasons we are so focused on having our systems be open source, so you or someone technically savvy you know can verify what the software is doing.
barely carry computers form future great people small traveling
We carry around computers in our pockets. Many people barely use them as phones. We use them as computers. If you think about the future, when you're traveling around, it's great to have a lightweight, small form factor.
apart beings citizen digital good history human naturally news opportunity putting taking throughout
The good news is, being a digital citizen comes naturally to many of us once we get the opportunity - human beings have been taking things apart and putting them back together throughout history.
The name Firefox is not part of the open source licence, and that's why it's important to us.
naturally people
People are more naturally protective of what they create than of what they consume.
internet untold
The Internet offers untold potential for humanity. To make the most of it, we need to think of the Internet as 'ours.'
good maybe people remotely scary talk technology whom
I'm a good communicator, and I'm a good translator. I can talk to engineers; I can talk to people for whom technology is not remotely interesting or even maybe scary - things like that.
moment percent
What we have is 95 percent there and what we are doing at the moment is actually polishing.
bad experience
IE6 was a bad experience for consumers, but it was a terrible for developers. Not only it was technically bad, but it was closed, and you couldn't do much with it.
business clearly commercial controlled good software view
So many commercial orgs have software where you can come and modify it, but they still control everything. And what's controlled is very clearly what's good for their business, or if they're more progressive, their view of what's good for the Internet.
