The iPhone’s Safari Exploit

A Safari exploit has been discovered that stretches from the Mac/PC version of Safari to the iPhone/iPod version. For the Mac/PC version, the exploit would just cause Safari to crash, but the iPhone/iPod version causes your device to entirely lock up. Not the worst damage ever, but you could lose data.

Safari Pad

Would you ever have guessed the iPhone began as a R&D device called Safari Pad? John Markoff from the New York Times is reporting just that.
Apple’s multitouch technology began life not as a cellphone, but as a notepad-sized skunkworks project internally dubbed Safari Pad, run by Tim Bucher, then Apple’s head of Macintosh hardware. To […]

What might Steve Jobs think about Microsoft’s bid for Yahoo? Here’s a hint.
Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple Computer, has had his own experience of seeing Microsoft enter a market and overwhelm the original innovator (the Apple Macintosh) with a similar, competing product (Windows). Jobs regards the Web as “the defining social moment for computing.” […]
