Mitchell Baker out as CEO at Mozilla.  Not sure what to think about that.  I do know that I would have preferred somebody with a tech background in the CEO role, though.  Mozilla wants to create a better Internet, but Mozilla can barely keep Firefox relevant at this point. https://blog.mozilla.org/...
