ming- I do, I do. But ain't every tech company like that? Obsessed with security? I mean, iphone, blackberry, samsung, its all the same shit.
chen- No man, no. Firefox is this thing called 'open source'. they don't care if you lose a prototype - they give away their prototype designs for free.
ming- Ahhh sounds like a bunch of hippie bullshit to me. How can they make money? its Bs. they are gonna be just as secretive as apple. watch. some body is going to kill themselves on the firebear line just like every other line.
chen- Look man. All I'm saying is. Id rather be on your line than on my line.

people who like to compile their own software from source code... that is their target market.
Apple has 40% of the market, Android has 50%, Blackberry+Windows Phone+Symbian has 9%, so they are going after the remaining 1%.

Too bad there's no real news company with a similar name.
