i'm not so much concerned about what money who makes from what as I am as extensions, without ample notification, acting as malware against other software/extensions i have installed in order to make a buck.
I moved to linux long ago b/c i was tired of having to run scans once a week. I switch to FF b/c i prefered a more secure browser (made even more secure by extensions). Now basically, this guy, has managed to get malware in both firefox and linux. Seriously, total douchebag move.

the sheer fact that the noscript dev acted in this fashion is unforgivable. security problems be damned, there will be no more noscript on my site.
Since it's gpl'd hopefully someone will fork it from this asshole.

Exactly. When IE is comes close to the standards compliance that FF, Opera, Safari, Konqueror, Chrome, (the list goes on) has, they can claim to be "better". IE6 renders sites better.
Submission + - ISPs may back out of RIAA Deal If Press is Bad (zdnet.com)
DigDuality writes: "The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), the lobbying group representing the four largest recording companies, said last month that it had enlisted the help of ISPs as part of a new antipiracy campaign. The RIAA has declined to identify which ISPs or how many. The good news? The half dozen companies (in particular AT&T and Comcast) are "skittish" about negative press and could still back out, said the sources. But as it stands, AT&T and Comcast are among the companies that have indicated they wish to participate in what the RIAA calls a "graduated response program." Bad press may never look so good."

Submission + - Gnome Has a Screen Real Estate Problem (tuxtraining.com)
DigDuality writes: "Ever compare screen space between Gnome and Windows? Or even OS X for that matter. It seems Gnome in almost all areas, Window Manager bars, buttons, font sizes, window borders, panel bars as well as in other areas just eats up a ton of space. If you happen to be the owner of a wide screen you are even more out of luck as Gnome continues to build applications vertically (large buttons, tabs, etc.). This could pose huge usability and productivity losses for new comers and have them running back to their originating OS. Ubuntu's brainstrom is littered with complaints concerning how screen space is simply not properly utilized in default installs (1, 2, 3, 4), though the complaint is with Gnome, not Ubuntu specifically. There are tweaks the end user can do for now, but this is a larger issue that Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian, and Gnome themselves will have sooner or later if they ever wish to truly grab a larger user base."

Submission + - Jefferies downgrades Red Hat due to virtualization (barrons.com)
AlexGr writes: "By Eric Savitz (Barron's):
Red Hat shares are lower this morning after Jefferies & Co.'s Katherine Egbert cut her rating on the stock to Hold from Buy, trimming her price target ot $19 from $23. Her primary issue with the stock: the impact server virtualization has on Linux demand.
"In ongoing attempts to reduce the cost of maintaining their compute infrastructures, many companies have looked in recent years to the cost savings offered migrating legacy Unix systems to lower cost Linux servers," she explains. "However, there is now a greater opportunity to reduce costs via virtualization, as technology from VMware allows Unix and Unix apps to be run in a virtualized container on existing hardware, even alongside Windows. This direct-to-virtualization solution negates the need for new Lintel hardware to support legacy systems. New servers are also increasingly shipped with Windows + VMware, further robbing Linux of market share at the OEM level."
