Mozilla wants Google and Microsoft to team up on offline apps

And finally to Mozilla, which bless its cotton socks wants Microsoft and Google to team up on online apps, Punch to live happily with Judy, and Liverpool and Manchester United to give up all this hostile football nonsense and try holding either end of a jump rope for Arsenal instead. Hands up anybody who thinks it will happen?

"It's a nice idea Mozilla but I really don't believe you'll get Microsoft wanting to work with Google on anything and vice-versa. Pity though it does make sense. But they could also think of making a live version of Open Office - that might well develop a lot faster than any project that Google and Microsoft work on," says nicomo.

pcernie also had his reservations: "Mozilla should have been dealing with the memory leaks no matter what. Stay away from Microsoft, Google - you don't know where its been!"

"I do like Firefox, but the memory leaks have been a real bug-bear," notes Big_D. "Especially when developing, where you are loading thousands of site images a day and running through hundreds of tabs. It shows that Mozilla comes from a background where new features are more important than getting something right ("hey, it works, sort of, let's get the next big thing implemented.")"

Sounds good, see you all next week.
