But I guess they like that $10B very much.

- ucaetano 8y agoThat's not what I meant. If Apple didn't want to push a search engine and take financial advantage of it, it could show a prompt the first time the user opens the browser, asking the user to select the search engine from a list. But I guess Apple just loves that nice shiny pile of cash too much to give it up!

- ucaetano 8y agoYeah, and charged $10B for it. Right...
