WekKit also isn't Safari, is it. I was referring to the reasons to keep bespoke Safari "secret" and the ways to do so... as in, to the actual fucking article, not "Apple success porn" in general, or whatever "sensibilities" I might have offended here.

Safari is a subset of WebKit.

Wow.

Ok. I was responding to you rather arrogant assertion that Don's interesting article was "meh". I'd argue that neither WebKit or Safari are trivial. WebKit is arguably the biggest HTML renderer out there and a heck of a lot of people access the internet using Safari. It's fine that you didn't find it interesting, really, that's ok, just don't be a dick about it.

Oh get off it. Yeah, it's perfectly fine for me to find something "meh", how fantastic of you to notice; especially after someone said not reading the in-depth details of it would have made my life more boring; I took exception to be included in that; the nerve of now crying!

Geez. This may come as a shock to you, but the fact that a lot of people use Apple, Microsoft, Google, Facebook or whatever doesn't mean squat to me when it comes to find things "fascinating"; sometimes big isn't beautiful, sometimes it just means someone can't stop pushing people into their pie hole, and that some people actually stand for that. I don't fucking care if either of those parties understand or like my comments, and your "being a dick" is my "not being one".

Sure, WebKit is a nice rendering engine in parts, it's prefix-infested bullshit in others; but when it comes to browser UI and options, Safari isn't even mediocre. Even if it was the best it would be that way for selfish, needy reasons. It's kinda like I don't even care how IE10 is going to be, I won't use it nor develop for it. The awesome thing about convictions is that you don't need the approval of people who don't share them.

So instead of making asinine or pointless comments, say nothing. Judging by your post though, it seems that you are far too narcissistic to remain quite.

Why does that not apply to that schmuck and their ideas about what makes life interesting? Someone helpfully summarized the article and got a dumb fucking comment in response; I reacted to that, and why wouldn't I. Just like you guys are entitled to your whining, or whatever the fuck that is.

"Someone helpfully summarized the article and got a dumb fucking comment in response" No, they didn't. They got a reasonable disagreement. You reacted to it arrogantly. I jovially suggested that your assertion was wrong and you went super nova! The whole thread is there for all to see. You need to work on you people and communication skills. Some free advice. Lose the attitude. Like it or not, that 'schmuck' has contributed significantly to the world of computing. What he has to say is interesting. It's also an interesting insight into a secretive company that has seen unparalleled success until very recently. So those combined, if you are a young entrepreneurial developer, you should listen. You might even learn something.
