An Apple A Day Keeps the Foxes Away?

Tuesday, March 25th, 2008

I was a bit surprised when iTunes tried to sneak a Safari installation along with my regular software update yesterday:

I just unchecked the little box next to the Apple browser and quit after installing the iTunes update. I imagine that most users will do the same, but Mozilla boss John Lilly is severely ticked off and lashed out at Apple’s obvious ploy to gain some ground on Firefox.

Of course, (Fake) Steve Jobs has his own hilarious take on the whole matter:

“…the real story here is that the Mozilla Foundation dresses itself up as a nonprofit but then runs a for-profit Mozilla Corp. that makes a frigload of money by sticking a Google search box in its browser.”
