Very interesting interview with Mitchell Baker, 'Chief Lizard Wrangler' at Mozilla, the Firefox creators. Covers everything from its rise, profits, penetration on mobiles, branding, perspective on the interactive/graphical rich web and nearly everything else.
Well worth checking out - skims over a lot of the technical details, some incorrect facts (Silverlight is not completely proprietary - DLR), a slightly biased interviewer, but a nice read to see where Firefox is going and its intentions.

"So props to the Mozilla Labs team. You’re definitely pushing the envelope and I think you’re doing a lot to help move the web in a good direction. The more we can abstract the data, the better, richer experiences we can build around that. For some that may be the command line, but it’s not hard to see other applications popping up that would put a GUI face on the Ubiquity infrastructure."
Check out the video - looks very neat. I'm hoping they'll do a bit more with the interface though, particularly a cool expression builder type interface to prompt and hint.

"Mozilla’s Head of User Experience Aza Raskin has just posted a video preview and extensive post covering the concept behind of one of Mozilla’s latest endeavors, Firefox Mobile... The GUI looks very cool, though raw... Firefox Mobile will be usable on touchscreen devices, keypad-operated devices and everything in between."
Cool little video. Although I'm convinced it'll work very well on mobile-sized devices. Mini-tablet-sized devices would work well though.
