    I view it like checks and balances. Apple makes a lot of dough from it's software, which is based on OSS. The KHTML guys are doing it because of other reasons, of which I would like ot believe that they just want to write great open-source software (bless you folks).

    Apple wants to make some use of OSS code in their software, but they don't want to contribute back, which is not cool. Groups like KHTML then show some static, and viola, we have a webkit site from Apple.

    Too bad Safari is an inferior browser, even on OS X. I find Camino (gecko based OS X native browser) to be much faster, more stable and render more pages correctly than Safari. Safari also doesn't seem to easily allow you to accept/deny cookies on a per-site basis. And Camino isn't that stupid brushed-metal theme that Apple is so fond of. *shudder*

  4. NOone's inherently evil by daniil · · Score: 1, Troll
    Calling someone "inherently evil" makes just as much sense as claiming that man was born from a monkey. Noone's inherently evil. There's no such thing as the original sin or the original evil, inherited from father to son, from grandfather to grandson.

    Not even Microsoft (you were referring to MS, weren't you?) is inherently evil. Not even Roland Piquepaille.
