- Mozilla COO Calls Jobs on Predatory Safari Plans
No matter what one thinks of Safari for Windows (which has already been patched three days after launch and still can't render A LOT of sites), it's nice to see Apple attacking Microsoft's browser hegemony on its own turf. Right?...No matter what one thinks of Safari for Windows (which has already been patched three days after launch and still can't render A LOT of sites), it's nice to see Apple attacking Microsoft's browser hegemony on its own turf.
Right?
Unfortunately, not really. As John Lilly, COO of Mozilla, points out, when Steve showed off a pie chart depicting his vision of Apple's Windows browser marketshare, he didn't depict MS losing any share at all. Instead, the image just eats up all the alternatives, including the still-rising Firefox. And while I have my problems with Firefox (it strikes me as a program only a software engineer could love), I only want to see Apple bite into Internet Explorer's customers, not the folks who have already sought out an alternative.
The computer world is not the American political scene, and there is room for way more than two players. And so it should be. The more browsers we have, the fewer "browser-specific" features develop and the more readily standards get adopted across platforms. We all stand to benefit from a diverse, competitive markets. A shame that Apple reveals they have no interest in the same.

If you buy an ugly Tide t-shirt for $10, you can win an iTunes gift certificate or a bright orange, Tide-branded iPod. A nano, from the looks of it. No word on whether they'll also brand you forehead with Tide.

Pete Mortensen - Hello Again, 'Hello.' Apple Leads Ad Revival
Interesting article in the New York Times today about the resurgence of the world "Hello" as an ad tagline. Apple has a long tradition of using the word dating to the original Mac, so it's only fitting that they've revived...Interesting article in the New York Times today about the resurgence of the world "Hello" as an ad tagline. Apple has a long tradition of using the word dating to the original Mac, so it's only fitting that they've revived it for the iPhone, but this is a bigger trend, as reflected in the creepy "Hello, Delicious" ads for Level Vodka:
"Advertising being an annoying, interruptive medium, 'Hello' is kind of a nice salutation, a friendly way of introducing yourself," said Lee Clow, chairman and chief creative officer at the TBWA Worldwide unit of the Omnicom Group who has long worked for Apple.
That's one way to view it. You know what I think it is? It's Thursday, that's what it is.
