Steve Jobs Email: Safari To Have Full HTML5 Support "Soon"
- cmelbye 16y agoDid anyone doubt that Safari would have full HTML5 support?
- ugh 16y agoWhile Safari is improving fast Chrome is at the moment definitely improving faster.
- tvon 16y agoDo you realize they both use WebKit (the rendering engine)? ... even so, what does your comment have to do with the comment above it?
- silvestrov 16y agoThey are both using the same codebase for the implementation (WebKit), so it is mostly a matter of release schedule: we haven't seen a major Safari release for some time, whereas Chrome is released more often.
- statictype 16y agoWhy would anyone mail Jobs about this instead of someone on the Safari development team?
- emmett 16y agoBecause Jobs is free to respond, whereas someone on the Safari development team would face serious consequences for doing so.
- tvon 16y agoWell, you wouldn't mail the Safari team, you'd just follow WebKit development (which has a lot of contributors from a lot of different companies): http://webkit.org/ http://webkit.org/
- statictype 16y agoJob's response of 'Soon' doesn't sound any better than the vaguest response a developer could have given. At least a developer might have told you what's next on the roadmap.
- bradleyland 16y agoBecause emailing SJ is the "hot new thing". When you receive a reply, you're obligated to post about it on the internet, including full mail headers as "proof".
- CoryMathews 16y agoSometimes I wonder if Jobs writes such short replies because its such a PIA to type on the iPad.
- blehn 16y agoI also wonder if he set his signature on his MacBook and iPhone to "sent from my iPad" -- just so it looks like he's using his iPad all the time.
- silvestrov 16y agoHe would have to run a hacked version of Mail.app as the last screen shot shows the "X-Mailer: iPad Mail (7B367)" header. I doubt he would spend time on that sort of tricks. I think is much more likely that SJ eats his own dogfood, and that he would never have released the iPad if he considered it unusable.
- ptomato 16y agoOr because he doesn't want to spend all his time answering email, perhaps.
- thamer 16y agoWhat does that even mean? HTML5 is still at the draft stage, isn't it? Mozilla said they wouldn't add WebSockets until the API supports binary messages; does having “full support” mean “full support of the current draft”, which changes every few days?
