BBC NEWS | Technology | Wikipedia joker eats humble pie
The quality of Wikipedia has recently been questioned, because of a false biography entry on the journalist John Seigenthaler.

Philidelphia is launching affordable, municipal wide, Wi-Fi coverage. One of the key drivers behind this project was to shrink the digital divide, and this is a very noble cause. The city considers Internet access to be like street lighting and sanitation.

But what to make of the announcement on mozilla.org, that Firefox and Thunderbird has been given “a new home”?
The “new home” is mozilla.com (Mozilla Corporation) rather than mozilla.org (Mozilla Foundation), I suppose this marks some kind of new direction and/or strategy for the Firefox project.
