I'm trying to figure out what's wrong with this. Google pays Mozilla to make Google the default search engine for Firefox. Mozilla could have made it Yahoo or someone else, but Google paid them and that's bad? This seems the same to me as Ford offering a television show free cars so that whenever you see a car in the show, it's a Ford. This is as old as advertising itself. Mind you, all the link has is rumor and innuendo to go on. No solid proof. A supposed insider blogger makes an accusation, they ask for corroborating documents which haven't yet been filed, and the principals have no comment for them. They've interpeted the silence of those involved to mean their "guilt". Despite the fact that they aren't _required_ to disclose any information about the matter, either way, except perhaps in quarterly filings. While they may indeed be "guilty", this is scant evidence to even make such an accusation, much less grant it any credence. Paul -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
