Innovation in action

This isn't strictly related to any of the themes I normally write about, but it seems to validate the idea that innovation at the edge can have a sudden and visible impact. As Om and others noted a couple of days back, OneStat has observed a sharp increase in Mozilla browser usage, which they make out to be 7.35% of the global total. On this site today, Firefox's share is currently 22% (note that when you click through you will almost certainly see a different number - just a couple of hours ago, before the US was awake and most of my traffic was coming from Europe, the figure was over 25%).
