OMG! Haha this is hilarious!
Wikileaks announced that they will re-release the source code for thousands of Open Source Java projects, making all access modifiers ‘public’ and all classes and members non-‘final’.
“They have no right to do this. Open Source does not mean the source is somehow ‘open’. That’s my code, not theirs. If I make something...

This is a huge reason why I have stayed with FireFox and not completely moved over. All I gotta say is, FF watch out! Although… the new Beta 4.1 looks nice!
