Excellent review of Firefox and Mozilla's financial relationship with Google. Mitchell Baker is both the CEO of the for-profit Mozilla Corporation and charwoman of the non-for-profit Mozilla Foundation. While the foundation has managed to give away less than $300,000 of it's $74 million war chest, it paid Mitchell $500,000 per year in compensation.
This all seems rather incestuous.
Quoted: Mozilla has come to resemble a Silicon Valley start-up more than a scrappy collaborative underdog.

What are the tax implications of Mark Ecko's donation to the Hall of Fame? He paid $750,000 for the ball. If he would immediately donate it to the Hall of Fame (a 501(c)3 organization), he would receive a tax deduction of $750,000 (saving him potentially over $250,000 in taxes).
But, by branding the ball, you could argue that he has significantly decreased it's value (there is a smaller market of collectors who would want the branded version of the ball than the pristine one).
So, the IRS should intervene to demand an independent appraisal of the branded ball, and allow him the significantly smaller tax deduction.
Rather than costing him $500,000 (net), his "stunt" could cost him $100,000 or so more.
(BTW - doesn't it seem ridiculous that the federal government is loosing $200,000 in this transaction?)
