Sometimes, I find posts that seem like they are extremely important, but I have no idea why.  This is one of those posts.  While I am not a Linux user, I understand why Linux is very important in the computer world.  Open-source technology keeps all of us from being trapped under a web of OS monopolies, forced to use (and pay for) a bunch of stuff we don’t even need in an operating system.

However, since I don’t really understand what Webkit GTK+ port passed Acid3 on Linux really means in English, I’ll let the good people at ARS Technica explain it better than I ever could:

“The GTK+ port of WebKit is the first open source HTML render to fully pass the Acid3 test on the Linux platform. WebKit, which is Apple’s increasingly popular fork of KDE’s KHTML rendering engine, is used by Apple’s Safari web browser and the iPhone. The GNOME desktop environment’s Epiphany web browser has also adopted WebKit and will be using it instead of Firefox’s Gecko rendering engine in a future release.”

And there you have it.
