    Hi everyone, thanks for listening to the interview with me. I made one error in the interview that I'd like to correct. In the interview I said that the Firefox 4 alpha builds are not yet available. That is incorrect. They have been available for some time as Mozilla Developer Preview http://www.mozilla.org/projects/devpreview/rele...

    Apologies for the confusion!
