According to this news, Mozilla's former president Li Gong is poaching his former executive Mozilla branch for more then 30 managers & engineers for his new startup 'Gong Fishing', which is in direct compete with Mozilla on Firefox OS field.
I wondered at the monumental self-centredness of calling the start-up "Gong Fishing", but it appears to be just a typo for "Gone Fishing".
Yeah that's my typo, and it's still an nickname according to last week's CNET http://www.cnet.com/news/firefox-os-in-flux-as-mozilla-loses...
Where does the title of the post come from? I guess 'poach' is meant to be 'poaches', but the title of the linked article seems to be "China Poaches Top Talent from Mozilla Taiwan for IoT Projects", which is at least as informative, and subtly different. (Also, the linked article refers to the relevant poacher as Gong Li, not Li Gong; but I know that converting name order from Chinese meaningfully to English is a tricky business.)
Well, Gong Li would be the famous actress.
