The blog author was one of the founders of Lycos (read: search engine long before Google) and was pretty involved in keeping it alive under stress (albeit 1990s stress, not 2000s stress).
It's a tongue-in-cheek reference to how people call the iPhone the Jesus Phone. The main idea = for years mobile phone companies kept churning out iterations on a single UX, and it took Apple starting from scratch and focusing on design first to take the mobile phone to the next level. Why doesn't someone do the same thing with the browser?
