PROLOGUE Six houses, all alike in dignity,
In fair IRC, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
From Oracle, that SQL seer of IndexedDB,
To Google, the stronghold of search,
We add Mozilla, the Web SQL killa,
And Apple, peering from its mobile perch.
Here, a storage war would set keys to clack,
Tongues to wag, and specs to shatter,
There was also Microsoft and Opera,
Who don't really seem to matter. THE PLAYERS NIKUNJ MEHTA, of House ORACLE, an instigator
JONAS SICKING, of House MOZILLA, an assassin
MACIEJ STACHOWIAK, of House APPLE, a pugilist
IAN FETTE, of House GOOGLE, a pleader
CHARLES MCCATHIENEVILE, of House OPERA, a peacemaker ACT 1 SCENE: A dark and gloomy day in Mountain View, or
perhaps a bright and cheery one, depending on your
IRC client's color scheme. |
