It's about capitalism, not consumerism!

To understand Mozilla's potential, it's useful to review a bit of its history. By the middle of 2005 the Mozilla Foundation was making around $4 million per month from Google...with only 10 to 12 people on the payroll. Those are revenues that any small start-up--open source or otherwise--would kill to achieve. Mozilla was largely doing it in its sleep through the Google relationship.
Forget Facebook...

Currently I'm reading the book, The Long Tail. It's a paradigm shifting look at the biggest change since the industrial revolution. With the cost of distribution dropping so quickly we're finding totally new ways to build revenue streams changing how are our economy works. It's good to be a capitalist!
