Yeah I did notice it was probably due to the networking in China. But at the same time it's also interesting because since patents and copyright infringements aren't as enforced in China it's interesting to see these things pop up. Makes you wonder what may be possible if copyrights/patents weren't so messed up in the US.

(note I do think that copyrights have a purpose but the amount of time they last is absurd). For copyright reform I'd just want them to reduce the amount of time you could hold a copyright.

It could also do with Mozilla's acquisition of Eudora.

Though I like TB alot, it's going be a pain funnelling all my emails without the webmail extension (I use webmail extension to get hotmail and yahoo without pop3).
