Mozilla and Samsung Collaborate on Next Generation Web Browser Engine

[I’d like nothing more than to see this succeed][link], and I agree with John Gruber’s [simple assessment][df]:

>It would be a win for everyone if Servo did to WebKit what WebKit did to Gecko.

I will, however, be very disappointed if the logo doesn’t somehow evoke the image of Tom Servo from MST3k.

Dear Samsung Senior Vice President of Product Development and Marketing Kevin Packingham

Kevin,

You recently declared “[consumers want rectangles][con].” and I’m glad you finally figured out that [Round Rects Are Everywhere][folk], only 31 years after Apple did.

It’s good that your knockoff hardware designs are based on more recent stuff, like the iPhone. Maybe if you browse [Folklore.org][lore] a little, you’ll find some more insights that you can shamelessly pretend are your own.

xo,
Phil
