Firefox OS Source Leaked!!!
The complete, commented source code for Mozilla's new Firefox OS effort has been leaked!! In what can only be a massive oversight on Mozilla's part, the holy trinity of Firefox OS (codenamed Boot2Gecko), Gonk (the Linux kernel), Gecko (the renderer), and Gaia (the HTML5 / CSS / JavaScript) have been posted on GitHub via Mozilla's top secret B2G account, along with several other vital code components for Firefox OS. Be sure to go grab the source code as quickly as possible before Mozilla recognizes their mistake! Go, quickly!
This is an April Fools joke. Firefox OS has been open source from day one!
![fetch API]()
One of the worst kept secrets about AJAX on the web is that the underlying API for it, XMLHttpRequest, wasn't really made for what we've been using it for. We've done well to create elegant APIs around XHR but we know we can do better. Our effort to...
![LightFace: Facebook Lightbox for MooTools]()
One of the web components I've always loved has been Facebook's modal dialog. This "lightbox" isn't like others: no dark overlay, no obnoxious animating to size, and it doesn't try to do "too much." With Facebook's dialog in mind, I've created LightFace: a Facebook lightbox...
![Face Detection with jQuery]()
I've always been intrigued by recognition software because I cannot imagine the logic that goes into all of the algorithms. Whether it's voice, face, or other types of detection, people look and sound so different, pictures are shot differently, and from different angles, I...
![Custom Scrollbars in WebKit]()
Before each of the browser vendors we like was providing unique CSS controls, Internet Explorer was setting the tone. One such example is IE's early implementation of CSS filters. Internet Explorer was also the first browser that allowed developers to, for better or worse, customize...
Happy April David!
Clever! You had me for a few moments there…
That’s a Geek April Fool :D
A great April Fool :D
A Great April Fool Day to all :-)
OMG! Thanks for telling! I most hurry and grab it XD… wait I’m not a mobile factory nor a divolapar, just a FFOS fan :x
Too obvious for today. A press release from Mozilla announcing its release might have been more convincing…maybe…but not today. ;)
LOL Happy April Fool to you David xD
oops, nice joke :)
Very clever, i almost believed! :)
Lol well this is late, but I was Googling Firefox OS related-stuff and saw this headline. I clicked it only to begin making fun of whoever wrote this for stupidity, but clearly you knew what you were talking about the whole time :DD
I was looking for the source. Googled it and came here. Great informative post and thanks for the link :-)
Really ppl…Firefox OS, like all Mozilla products, is open source. lol. [not directed to the author, who obviously knew this]. Thanks for the link though.
As a Open Source fan i cant wait to grab it. Thanks for sharing!
