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!
![Create Namespaced Classes with MooTools]()
MooTools has always gotten a bit of grief for not inherently using and standardizing namespaced-based JavaScript classes like the Dojo Toolkit does. Many developers create their classes as globals which is generally frowned up. I mostly disagree with that stance, but each to their own. In any event...
![I’m an Impostor]()
This is the hardest thing I've ever had to write, much less admit to myself. I've written resignation letters from jobs I've loved, I've ended relationships, I've failed at a host of tasks, and let myself down in my life. All of those feelings were very...
![PHP / MooTools 1.2 Accordion Helper]()
The MooTools Accordion plugin seems to be the plugin that people seem to have the most problems with. It's an awesome plugin, so I can see why so many people want to use it, but I think that may be part of the problem.
![Record Text Selections Using MooTools or jQuery AJAX]()
One technique I'm seeing more and more these days (CNNSI.com, for example) is AJAX recording of selected text. It makes sense -- if you detect users selecting the terms over and over again, you can probably assume your visitors are searching that term on Google...
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!
