Is Apple Being Naughty?

All is not well in browser land. Mozilla (firefox) CEO John Lilly is pissed off. Not at Microsoft but at that lone ranger Apple. The saviours of all thing gagdety is not playing fair according to Lilly. So, what is the Messiah Steve Jobs done now? Honest Steve has taken upon himself to push the Apple Safari browser unto Windows machines. Yes, the man who first wanted nothing to do with Mircosoft and has called them all kinds of names now wants a piece of the windows browser market action and is not afraid to not ask you if you really want it. The tool they use is that handy pop-up (if it were Microsoft’s I bet the world would be too small) Apple installs on your PC if you even take a sniff at iTunes or Quicktime. As of today this pop-up will also install the Safari browser. If you do not remove the tick next to the download. The hunted has become the hunter. I wonder how long this ooh and ahh crap keeps going on everytime Steve Jobs pulls a shiny dildo from his trouser pocket now that they are kind of turning into something they’ve always detested.

Some independant IT security websites are also claiming that ‘Safari’ is totally unsafe and has serious security issues.

De_Bunk | 25/03 | 10:47 PM

that explains why I had an ‘Itunes update’ message earlier that upon closer inspection was Safari, to which I promptly clicked cancel!

Jobs is an opportunist whose gambles always seem to pay off and reap dividends. Personally I’ll avoid Safari like it was the H5N1 virus.

@eyepopper
maybe the gamble aren’t such a big gamble after all. I’m sure Jobs knew the world was really turing against companies like Microsoft and IBM and he manouverd Apple into an underdog position. And we all love an underdog. Shame the underdog is starting to use underhand tactis to get its crap to people.

From the front page of “WebUser.com”

“He described the most serious flaw as a vulnerability in the Safari browser for Windows 3.1 which allows a hacker to “falsify the web address and enter another page or content”.

“Security firm Secunia has given the flaws a ‘highly critical’ rating, the second highest rating on its scale.
The other flaw, said Secunia, is an error that occurs when downloading files with an overly long filename, which can be exploited to cause a memory corruption which could in turn allow a hacker to take control of the PC.

So..It looks like Mac users are no better off these days, than PC users.

not to stir up any debate here or discredit you de bunk (big fan of yours) but isnt the operative part of that quote “safari browser for windows 3.1” ?
which wouldnt mean that mac users are as bad off as pc users; rather, theres no hope for pcs even if they have a mac broswer…
as for including safari in itunes updates, apple has included quicktime with itunes downloads for years (the only other free apple software for pc) i dont agree with it, but if people dont want it, uncheck it! maybe thats why pcs are plagued with viruses so much if the majority of the users blindly download anything without checking what theyre getting first…
(and yes im typing this from my biased macbook :/ )

Macs are glorified Fisher-Price activity centres for adults

@Omfg, peeved means mildly annoyed

I’ve been testing on Safari on PC for a few months now and I have to say, it’s a bloody fast browser and actually quite nice to use.

Masonchair, I think DB was talking about the current version of Safari which is 3.1 and not the old Windows OS smile

Cheers,

MAn you are an idiot, if you dont want Safari, dont download it! btw it is the best web browser out there any hoo.
