Mozilla Adopts 2 Real Firefox Cubs

Good thing they had that trademark problem. Adopting a phoenix would have been tricky. Also, d'aww.

Brilliant advertising ploy; it seems kind of stupid that they aren't using this opportunity to push HTML5 / Ogg Theora video.

The team working on it tried to, however it unfortunately wasn't technically feasible (on the server side, at this scale). The pre-made videos all use HTML5 video tags, however.

Strikes me as an epic publicity stunt. But they are cute.

Just go to the actual site! There's live cams of them frolicking.

Now I just have to find a way to run these streams side by side the kitty cams and then I'll never ever have another productive minute in front of my computer again.

I couldn't get the videos to work in Firefox, but they worked in Chromium...

At time of writing: "Live stream is off-air" :(

Dear God! Hacker news has really gone to the dogs (or is that cubs?)
