No surprise that safari use increased threefold after apple dishonestly installed it as an ‘update’ on millions of iPod owning user’s PCs without their explicit permission.
Safari as Sneakware ticked me off. I actually EMailed Apple a nastygram about that practice. They must have gotten the hint from me and many others, as the sneaky installers disappeared about a week later. If the browser is really that good, people would hear about it and download Safari themselves.
And by the way. Safari really sucks as a browser, based on experience with it on my wife’s Mac. If I ever buy an Apple Mac (which I might, just for the BSD Unix goodness inside), you can bet I’ll have Firefox installed for browsing.
i don’t care for safari, and this move was sleazy. let’s face it – the reason most people are using explorer is because IT’S THERE. i don’t care what all the bloggers say, the typical computer user is not kevin rose.
the fact is companies will continue to push users like this until outrage hits the boiling point or they simply acquiesce in exhaustion.

Sneakware my ass. It came up as a download OPTION on the updater. BFD.
Gods never apologize.
It was Jobs’ clone.

>>Gods never apologize.
Perhaps they should!
#6 – It became an option shortly after people complained.
Re Why Google complains about closed social networks: Aren’t they working on some social networking initiative? My guess is they’ll soon be offering some kind of social networking application framework and that they will push hard for social networking sites to adopt so there can be lots of interoperable applications/utilities that will work on all or most of the sites.
Oh, and “Ticonderoga” — When I heard that joke it was “Swan/Saskatchewan”…
