    My phone IS a call-placing, instant messaging, picture-taking, SSH-client'ing, toy. That's the reason I bought the damn thing, and I certainly don't need your sour attitude telling me to stop using it!

    WTF???

    KHTML has cleaner code then Webkit, it has the same license, and now (in trunk) has adblock support. Your your post is complete bs.

    Has it occurred to you that Apple may not have chosen KHTML if it hadn't been clean code?

    Maybe instead of bashing KHTML you should bash Gecko (or whatever they call it, not sure) for not being quality enough code for Apple to want to use it.

    (as an aside, IME, KHTML is fast, has the features I use/need, and it's behavior is good for the sites I visit though I realize this may not apply to everyone.)
