#Mozilla and coincidental conflicting #codenames: #Chromeless, #Prism, #Firebird

Posted by jpluimers on 2011/02/04

It seems Mozilla has developed a history of conflicting codenames.

A few years ago, they stopped using the name FireBird because of the pre-existing Firebird open source database.

Today they have Chromeless replace Prism.

Delphi Prism is in use by RemObjects since 2008 as name for their RAD tool for the .NET platform (both Microsoft .NET and Mono).

The Delphi Prism compiler is called Oxygene, but used to be called Chrome from 2005 till 2008.

Prism is in use by Microsoft since 2009 the name of a composite application guidance for WPF and Silverlight.

Chromeless sounds like a prank on Chrome which since 2008 is in use by Google for their browser.

So, two questions:

  1. What will be the next coincidental codename that Mozilla is going to use
  2. Did I miss any code names conflicting with prior product names?

Windows Azure platform 30 day pass – not only for USA people

Posted by jpluimers on 2011/02/03

A lot of places mentioned that Microsoft is offering a Windows Azure platform 30 day pass for USA people.

But visiting the Windows Azure platform 30 day pass link includes an extensive country list.

So it looks like non USA people can make use of it too.

Quora versus StackExchange – SE wins hands down

Posted by jpluimers on 2011/02/02

StackExchange wins hands down because of one reason:
the Quora page forces you to create an account before you can do anything else.
