Microsoft IE Team Sends Firefox A Cake
Microsoft has delivered a congratulatory cake to the Firefox team for releasing Firefox 3. The cake was delivered in person by Sean from Microsoft to the Firefox team members. I think people found it amusing and the “E” portion of the Firefox 2 cake, which is preserved in our freezer to this day, was pulled out for comparison. I must say, the new cake is much nicer (and much less brown) than the old one..
