I think this is a great move from Gate (who has a lot of problem lately 
with wall street's big firm ) and the timing of this "deal" is excellent 
but I'm afraid that this move is only a trick from gates to turn more 
attention on is browser production. I wouldn't be surprise if a rename 
"blackbird" would reappear in the near future...
