Browser Security News

As part of its continuing effort to humanize the Web, open source browser vendor Mozilla is getting some new humans for its development effort. John Lilly, CEO of Mozilla, confirmed in an e-mailed statement sent to InternetNews.com that Mozilla has hired three of the principals from Humanized, a small user interface development startup.

The president of Humanized is Aza Raskin, who is perhaps best known for being the son of legendary Apple Macintosh UI designer Jef Raskin. Jef Raskin passed away in February of 2005 and was widely credited with being the father of the Apple Macintosh. Humanized itself is the developer of a number of products including the Enso Launcher, which aims to be an easier way to navigate a desktop. They also have something called Enso Words, which is a universal spell-checker and dictionary application. Humanized is also working on several beta products, including mapping, translation and Web search technology. Mozilla Gets ‘Humanized’
