I think that Microsoft associated bloggers should try and resist the urge to "puntificate" on Google related matters and announcements in any professional capacity, it always comes off as though they are trying to take advantage of the situation and somehow spin it to the benefit of those who have them 'not quite on their payroll'.

Avoid the spin, here's the original post: http://blog.chromium.org/2013/12/keeping-chrome-extensions-s...

Thanks for the career advice. But perhaps you didn't notice that, as I always do, I provided a prominent link to the original Google post (the same one you just provided) in my original write-up. I always make sure my readers have the opportunity to go to the original source.

PS: I'm not on anybody's payroll. I am a freelancer and my compensation for this post comes from ZDNet, a division of CBSInteractive. You can take sides if you want to. I write for the benefit of my readers, a very diverse group.
