Microsoft sends Mozilla traditional treat to celebrate shipping Firefox 5

Don't be fooled. It's the evil Microsoft trying to retrain our Markov-chain-predictive parsers to interpret "Microsoft sends threat" as "Microsoft sends treat" from now on.

Changes in firefox 5: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/firefox_5_for_developers

tl;dr:

Going to the Chrome like fast development cycles resulted in getting cupcakes instead of cakes.

I was going to say this. IE probably looked at the development cycle of major releases for the next year and thought it would cost them a fortune in cakes!

Wouldn't surprise me if Firefox changed their release tactics to get more cakes...

yep, but the clever IE team caught wind of it and operation get more cakes failed. Firefox 6 rescheduled to 2013.

The cake is a lie.

For those who didn't get the reference, this is from the video game Portal:

I don't think it's a question of not getting the reference -- I dare say most of us likely did get it.

I think the real question is "what does this reference add to the discussion?" And as far as I can tell, it adds absolutely zero value.
