  5. A native KHTML browser for OS X? by Steve+Jobbs · · Score: 5, Funny

    The porting of Konqueror to OS X is great news for Mac users, as they now have access to the fast, standards compliant KHTML rendering engine. Many users and developers prefer KHTML to the Internet Explorer or Gecko engines. I was wondering though...does anyone know of a KHTML browser which is completely OS X native? I mean, with a brushed metal skin and full integration into Aqua? It could maybe have other stuff too, like Google search field built-in or something. That would be cool! Anyway, in the meantime I'll just have to continue with Konqueror on OS X.

    Hey now ... some of us happily hetero people with fashion sense and a taste for interior decorating (as well as our significant others of the opposite sex) use OS X *AND* OpenBSD.

    Don't generalize/make assumptions.

    As for your love of Solaris, I'd have to say that you enjoy being held over a barrel by Sun and repeatedly violated, all the while screaming "Yes Scott! Yes! Harder Scott! Faster! Ohhhhh, Scottttttt ... your onsite maintenance costs are just sooo... HUGE! Ohhhhhh McNealy! I love it when you stick me with your big overpriced hardware!"

    But then, I would be generalizing.

    Konq is just a clever ruse. Once everyone is using it, Emacs will pop out and open the ports in the firewalls.

    Then microsoft's vision of one network, one OS will finally be achieved. (Although, perhaps not in a manner wholly to their liking.)

    Whereas, it was possible to mix Athena and Motif widgets together.

    It's possible to mix tunafish and yogurt, too, but that doesn't mean it's a good idea.
