The Resume

    (June 12, 1985- )

Why he might be annoying:

    He has a goofy soul patch.
    He has a self named blog.
    Despite all the publicity, Firefox only controls a few percentage points of all browser's used.
    Viruses are usually written to attack the most popular software. Unfortunately it is only a matter of time before those idiots start attacking Firefox.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He is brilliant.
    He has been employed/interned at Mozilla (Netscape) since he was fourteen.
    He is brutally honest and has an incredible degree of integrity.
    When Netscape 7 was released, he took his employer to task for removing the pop-up blocker (August 29, 2002).
    He attacked C/Net's review of Netscape 7, saying they hadn't used the product (August 29, 2002).
    His goal is to 'take back the Web' (from Microsoft).
    He is reminiscent of Steve Wozniak, caring more about intellectual progress than the dollar.
    He developed a free open-source browser and invites others to work on making the browser better.
    Many financial publications recommend his Firefox, with the Wall Street Journal telling all to dump IE and Forbes writing it is 'better than Internet Explorer by leaps and bounds.'
    He attends Stanford.
    He succeeded in making a small speedy feature filled browser that blocks pop-ups.
