So the "OMG! Mozilla is dead without the Google deal" stories weren't just wrong they were backwards.
The real story was "OMG! There's a bidding war over Mozilla's new search deal that will get them a lot more money."
It is enough to make you wonder whether a player in those negotiations started the previous rumor in the first place (presumably as leverage). The timing certainly fits.
