Firefox OS's story from a mozilla insider not working on the project

  I clearly remember, but can't date it. I was working for Mozilla messaging at the time ( momo ), being the QA lead for Thunderbird. It was at the end of one of the Mozilla All-hands, maybe in 2011 or 2012. At one of the ending keynotes, we were introduced to Boot 2 Gecko. A hack that would let US - Mozilla own the platform to run a mobile browser on. At the time, the iPhone was going strong and Google was trying to catch up with Android. MeeGo had been in development at Nokia for a while but was going nowhere even when Intel tried to help. Blackberry was slowly starting to die. In the Silicon Valley everything was about mobile, mobile, mobile and the emerging South Easter Asian market, where people would skip computers and use smartphones to join the internet revolution. We were struggling with Chrome and the massive investment by Google to take market share. Our Firefox port on Android was having loads of issues. We were denied by Apple's policies to be present on iPhones....

Gandi , je suis énervé, la partie email

 En mai dernier j'avais migré le service de messagerie de mon domaine depuis google (offre historique datant de 2006) gratuite vers le service de Gandi. J'avais les contraintes suivantes : un peu d'espace, on passait de 15GB/utilisateurs tentative de reprise de l'historique Neuf utilisateurs calendrier+ carnet d'adresse du webmail pop/imap/smtp avec du TLS dedans Ayant un domaine historique, j'avais droit à cinq boites gratuites. Mais, je devais m'acquitter du service supplémentaire jusqu'à la prochaine échéance de renouvellement du domaine, soit 2025. Avec des boites mail à 3Gb, cela faisait une facture de 400€. Avec les dernières annonces de Gandi, à partir de la fin d'année, il me faudrait débourser en sus 25€/mois pour garder un service équivalent et à partir de 2025 45€/mois. La très mauvaise surprise du mercredi. J'ai donc commencé à chercher des alternatives, sachant qu'à terme, j'aurais au moins deux utilisateurs de plus. Point p...
