He just claimed Apple created WebKit, noted it's being used everywhere, and gave no nod whatsoever to the KDE team. Classy, Jobs, classy.

- wtallis 17y ago"For example, Apple began with a small open source project and created WebKit, a complete open-source HTML5 rendering engine that is the heart of the Safari web browser used in all our products." He only failed to mention KHTML by name. He most certainly did not claim that they made WebKit on their own.
- city41 17y agoAh you are correct, my bad. I read it too fast I guess.
- gritzko 17y agoIt is a very good example of putting spin on history. They don't lie, they just put the "right" emphasis. Depending on how much you know, you understand the text differently. But failing to mention KHTML by name is an act, indeed. Reminds me another masterpiece by Microsoft: "Java is a programming language proposed by the JavaSoft company", or something like that.
- Luyt 17y agoThat's what I thought when I saw Webkit mentioned without KHTML. When you're standing on the shoulders of giants, it's only prudent to mention that.
