Gnome Epiphany, GNOME's web browser, will drop support for the Gecko engine, focusing on WebKit instead. "we will choose only one web engine back-end to support and concentrate our efforts on it instead of spreading our efforts to multiple back-ends and restricting us to the common features all back-ends support. This single back-end will be WebKit." Assuming this is not an April Fool's joke, that is. Seriously, we ought to just shut down teh intertubes every April 1st. It's getting out of hand.

So far the worst APril Fools joke for me was the announcement on the OpenBSD mailing list that they had succeeded at porting 3D drivers for ATI and Nvidia. There are many of us who would be thrilled at that development, and I didn't realize it was a joke at first. Bummer!
