There is some precedent for left-for-dead tech being brought back to life: the Firefox Web browser, now one of the top browsers, was built from the open-source version of Netscape Communicator, which battled with Microsoft’s Internet Explorer in the late 1990s and early 2000s. If there was another open source web browser already leading the market in the late 90s, then Firefox probably never would have happened. Anyway, kudos to these hackers and I wish them luck. WebOS is great.
