Story: Firefox chief fumes over Apple Safari update
Apple Meeting
Can you imagine the meeting where the decision was made.
Jobs: Why is the safari browser not doing doing as well as iTunes?
Appleman: Well users are happy with the browsers they have
Jobs: But ours is faster look at these benchmarks, and I made all the buttons shiny
Appleman: Yes but it has less features than the other browsers
Jobs: Darn it, just get it on their PCs
Appleman: Well there is one thing we could do...
Job: what?
Appleman: We could bundle it with iTunes
Jobs: But that took ages when we bundled iTunes with Quicktime as the quicktime users didn't update often enough. We need something faster
Appleman: Well we could... no, we can't... it's going to far
Jobs: what?
Appleman: We could send it out as an update to exisiting iTunes and quicktime users
Jobs: Brilliant, all iTunes users will have safari
Appleman: But only those that opt-in for it
Jobs: Opt-in? Make it the default - infact smuggle it in along with a security update
Appleman [thinks]: I'm going to burn for this...
