Internet Explorer team sends Mozilla boys a cake
Yesterday marked the launch
of Mozilla’s Firefox 3 and its attempt to set a Guinness World Record for
the most downloads in a day. The downloads are still being counted until
11:16am PDT today, so you may still be able to help make a world record.
So far the Mozilla website shows that Firefox 3 has been downloaded
8,174,911 times worldwide with over 2.5 million of those downloads coming from
the U.S. alone. The Internet Explorer team from Microsoft, feeling in a
giving mood, sent the Firefox team a cake -- seriously.
The cake sported the Internet Explorer “E” symbol and read “Congratulations
on Shipping! Love, The IE Team.” Arcanology notes that the cake
has become a tradition and the Internet Explorer team sent over a similar
cake when Firefox 2 shipped.
Arcanology also says that the “E” from the original cake was frozen
and still sits in the refrigerator at Mozilla central to this day and it was
pulled out and compared to the new cake.
I suspect the original “E” was saved as evidence in case any of the Firefox
team met with an untimely demise or developed a severe case of pink eye. Those
of you who have seen Knocked Up know what I am getting at.
