@vulpine Yes I know and that's why Apple was able to take it's Velocity Engine to Intel with them. But my point was that it was Apple's chicanery (lies and deception) in comparing itself on incomparable hardware that exposed Steve's lies then. When Windows could not be run on IBM's PowerPC chips. That they lied about it being them that designed the Velocity Engine, when it was designed Freescale. Motorola's Freescale engineers designed it under AIM. Apple only put money into it!
If you read over the transcript of that 2003 WWDC, Jobs took InFomercial Marketing to new heights of deception by design. By trying to prove that slower PowerPC chips were faster at everything than Intel x86's faster proc'd PC's. At the time they really weren't. Nor are they still with Intel also having Hyper Threading and IBM clocking to over 6gHz!
Back to my point; if.... it's really WebKit's (Open Source Project off KHTML) fault, then why isn't Opera Browser and Chrome affected by these same security issues on Windows machines? Chrome btw is the most secure browser on the web. It's the only browser that didn't fall at PWN2OWN this year. While Safari took the first dive to death. So it can't be Webkit's fault!!!

Now here's another point on Apple's blaming AT&T for their present problems (like when they blamed IBM for their change to Intel); Under Apple's contract with them, there's a hush clause that basically says that AT&T must keep their mouth shut and grin and bear Apple's humiliation for them!
Why? Because Apple is the first manufacturer allowed to keep all profits of their iPhones sold by AT&T (where sales are subcontracted as if to Walmart or any other outlet) .... And are the first one allowed to run it's own SERVER FARMS for handling those transactions. Along with their own Garden Walled environment. Apple is only subcontracting their customer's wireless service from AT&T for them. So basically the server programs and account software is all Apple's.
Meaning this whole security debacle is Apple's software failure. NOT AT&T's account servicing and service. I can run another brand phone, bought from AT&T, running on their own OPEN servers without any problems whatsoever as proof!
So it will be a cold day in hell that Verizon under it's newly formed affiliation with WAC (40 wireless service providers):
http://www.fastcompany.com/1637428/cellphone-networks-gang-up-to-wrest-smartphone-control-from-apple-and-google....to ever have an iPhone/iPad running on it's NOW OPEN NETWORK! ...remember that AT&T was also Garden Walled and Verizon killed their Garden Walled Network in 2008. Apple wants to sell you their whole enchilada. Gas producing proprietary AOL HELL Garden Walled Network and all. That is ultimately doomed to failure!
Don't look now, but after taking Apple's Server Security failures on the chin, no way in hell.... is AT&T going to resign with Apple under these present contract terms and conditions either!!!
