whatever

well whatever. i find that ff3 beta 3 on mac runs faster than ff2, so that's good. what bugs me is that ff in general is still gawdawful slow and laggy when it comes to flash stuff, try scrolling with a flash thing on screen, say on youtube.. gahh annoying. yet it works ok to goodish in safari - coincidence?
besides, why is nobody making a stink about apple keeping stuff to themselves? think about it, how many dos (read windos) boxes are out there compared to macs? 50:1? that's why they don't get fined. it's not like apple is taking over the massmarket with their os and computers anytime soon right. but still the way they operate is annoying.

Typical it's OK for Apple but NOT MS

Funny all the fan boys flock to apples defence. But when MS does exactly the same they cry foul, kick up a stink and threaten to sue or encourage others to sue on there behalf. Now I would like to see the EU fine the crap out of apple for doing 'exactly' what MS does. Force people to use there compilers and programming packages for software development and leave everyone else out in the cold, without documentation to those undocumented features. It's plain old pathetic that apple has such a hold on development. Then mac users cry foul when they don't have a driver or something else like Java 6. That's because its being held up with apple for there approval! At least with windows, you can run with an un-official driver, you don't have to wait for WHQL from MS.

hah!

Lacklustre safari... hah!

Fireferret is absolute junk... Try using Fireferret for facebook on windows... it's worse than IE6, let alone IE7!

Not only do I use Safari for Windows myself, but all my friends who were previously using fireferret who I've told to try out Safari were left wondering why they ever installed fireferret in the first place!

But Apple better keep it up... because I'm not biased against Fireferret or IE, and I will change if they're better... and take all those other users with me

Poor article

Apples software is "Safari". The headline is bunk. Second a Developer is complaining because he is not using the native programming framework cocca? Get with the developer program. Cocca apps are native apps and have full access to all features. If you are not writing cocca apps you are using outdated programming APIs. Well Duh your program can't use all the wiz bang things. Don't blame apple for your incompetence 

AT adds: Or your inability to spell.

How dare you?

How dare you say such things you young rude man? Don't you know Safari is just faster and just better because Holy Steve says so?
Is this not enough? You are evil or ignorant and we don't like you, oh no no
</sarcasm> 

Why bother and give FF to Mac users? They will be fine with Safari or whatever no matter how much it sucks as it is Apple and this is enough isnt it?

Para 7

All Nick Farrell articles are required to have one incomprehensible paragraph....

This article...

..is a fine example of why you must be fed to the badgers.

You didn't mention Cappucino, Saint Steve, not even a dig at the vole or even give OS X its proper "super soaraway" moniker.

There's humour, and then there's your misuse of that humour...and of the English language.

Umm...

Could you please read paragraph 7 over, and tell me if it actually makes sense to you. And what updates are you referring to?

"50 per cent to 500 per cent slower"

You mean it was going _backwards_, _fast_?

Arrant gibberish.
