Why should I write my code so that the lowest-common-denominator dull thud who took CSci just for the money can come along five years later and maintain it?
No, so that you can come along five years later and maintain it.
Or your future boss can outsource it to some peanut-salaried person in Eastern Europe or Asia or Latin America or Nigeria.
When something like this happens for other companies, malware is a fact of life.

Maybe they were running Windows Vista ?
She said the software was authorized by a previous administration and her husband has better things to do to than look for aliens.
"We have seven kids together," Niesluchowski's wife said.
NEZ's wife thought "SEX@Home" not "SETI@Home", unlike NEZ.
The mergers and acquisition group at Oracle should have known
Sorry to remind you that M&As mostly for huge corporations such as Oracle are handled by the likes of Goldman Sachs and their brethren, who as we all know are the quintessential causes of the financial crises (yes, plural) of today. To think that they knew beyond their own arrogance is to ignore recent history!
It can't be that hard or "bloated" since many others are already doing this - Blackberry, Android, etc. - can't be too hard for a web browser.
They run a very minimal type of browser, and do not have extensions, so you're point here is not valid. Blackberry and/or Android are full fledged operating systems where sandboxing is easily implemented whereas browser is just an application and sandboxing an extension while still giving it access to every web page's content is a little harder to implement.
Why not contribute to SourceForge.net instead of unnecessarly duplicating it?
That's because SourceForget.net is not pure
I find it unimaginable that people would attempt to implement a technology that is not fully understood. Doing so will eventually yield unexpected results or at the very least, results that cannot be explained.
Yes, as we can see very well in the financial industry today. "Algorithms" and complex "trading strategies" implemented without understanding the fundamentals.
i think it's a valid question. netscape went from total market domination to nothing in a few years. granted MS pulled from under handed moves to make it happen that would be a LOT harder to do this time around, the scene is set the same. google innovates and takes market by storm, MS puts out a few non starters, eventually refines it's product to take the lead.
1. Netscape wasn't a public company as well run as Google is today.
2. Underhanded moves can be pulled by anyone, and Google is as smart as if not smarter than MSFT, which still has a lot of old blood from the 80s running the show.
3. Microsoft could also end up trying all the time to play catch up to Google, just like how Linux Desktop is touted as always(not my opinion) playing catch up to Windows or how Windows plays catch up to OSX and still ends up shabby or how Mono plays catch up to Microsoft C#.
The whole bing(TM) backronym of Bing Is Not Google, can also mean that it can never be as good as Google.
