AnnouncementsBrief items The annual State of Mozilla reportMitchell Baker has announced the availability of the annual State of Mozilla report and associated 2010 financial statements. "As the Internet experience is changing, Mozilla, too, is changing. The products and tools that we use to advance our mission are expanding and evolving. A browser is necessary but not sufficient. Equally important is expanding the number of people who understand our values and identify as Mozillians. Mozilla has both the challenge and the opportunity to expand our reach dramatically. We have the ability to bring our values to life in new ways. Embracing these opportunities means embracing change, embracing hope and embracing determination."

Intellectual Ventures disclosed Google's investment in the firm in May. [...] Bellevue, Wash.-based Intellectual Ventures filed its new suit in Delaware, alleging that Motorola Mobility has infringed on six patents related to transferring files among computers and technology used in an 'entertainment device,' according to the complaint."
