If the Director of the National Security Agency and Commander of United States Cyber Command feels that he needs to have a Red Button too, then perhaps the goals of his command are morphing into the goals of the United States Strategic Command.

If that truly is the case, then there should be a single organization that has the single Red Button for the United States.

Maybe it is time for the United States Cyber Command and the United States Strategic Command to merge into a single entity with One Red Button.

A policeman in the center of an intersection is not blocking either lane of the road.

When a larger, more representative, sample size is used, Firefox is losing marketshare. Where is Mozilla in the mobile marketspace?

Mozilla's commands of "wait for us, we're the leader" are falling on deaf ears.

Mozilla is becoming irrelevant.

...I'm kind-of-sort-of willing to concede to the demands by that fuckstick hipster who works in marketing who thinks that aesthetically filename extensions make the product too technical for other fuckstick hipsters who are also wound up about appearances....

Hiding filename extensions predates the hipsters by decades. Don't blame the hipsters for everything you don't like...
