The Mozilla Foundation has cut 12-year old Alex Miller a $3,000 check for discovering bugs on the Firefox browser. Miller discovered a critical security flaw in the Firefox web browser. “A couple months ago we increased the amount of payment to a much more substantial $3,000, basically to reflect the change in the economy, and the marketplace, since the time the program was initiated,” stated Mozilla security program manager Brandon Sterne in an interview with Mercury News. Alex spent about 90 minutes per day for about 10 days searching for a flaw in the memory after finding something questionable in the initial search. He spent $100 from the check to make a donation to his neighbor’s nonprofit organization called Unconditional Love Animal Rescue. [Mercury News]

I still remember when I would stand outside in the blistering cold waiting for the yellow school bus to pick me up and the only way I could tolerate it was because I had “Stayin’ Alive” by the Bee Gees playing on my Sony Walkman.

[Kathleen Madigan]
Last night I watched Kathleen Madigan doing some stand-up in Michigan. As part of her stand-up she took some time to rip on former eBay CEO Meg Whitman. Kathleen said that Whitman spent over $140 million on her campaign for the governor of California. Kathleen pointed out that she did not know how she felt about the “head of the Oompa Loompas” becoming governor of California. Whitman is a billionaire, Madigan pointed out, she should spend some of her money on getting new hair. I was cracking up during this segment of the stand-up and though I had to share this on Pulse2 when I got home.
