Apple playing catch up with Google. Must be getting on Steves nerves. Should of kept his mouth shut. Now he has to deliver and deliver good.

how do you play "catch up" when both companies are using the same fork of the webkit open source project. apple could release safari 5 tomorrow with the exact features of chrome in terms of page rendering.

there may be some change in the future when webkit2 supplants webkit in apple products, but i don't see why google would adopt it as well.

Apple can't afford to allow Google Chrome to gain traction. So it's in Apples interest to do this quickly.
Google is Moving quick in the Browser space and mobile space so in Apples cool and awesome way they'll release aggressive updates that make Googles efforts appear childish at best.

good. chrome uses webkit, from a development perspective the difference between chrome and safari is negligible at best. i don't care if it shakes out at safari 1% and chrome at 50%. it's irrelevant as long as google continues to use webkit then all the advancements they make will come to safari and vice-versa.

notable exception is the javascript RTE, but for what it's worth safari 4.0.5 is still faster on my corei7 at javascript performance than chrome 5 beta 1

Yes, people must remember it was APPLE who pioneered the webkit standard, hence why Google is following in there footsteps.

You don't think Apple will update Safari? Safari 4 is getting long in the tooth in my opinion. Also I doubt they'll mention the iPad save for how much it has sold and MAYBE some OS features.
 
What a tool.

"We don't need Flash... we have HTML5!!"

"Oh yeah, we promise HTML5 support is coming soon."

😕

PS. Safari was a big, fat FAIL during tax season. Had to use other browsers to get through government sites.
 
Worst grammar ever in an email to Steve Jobs forgiven due to the liklihood that English is not the author's first language (look at the name).
 
Is "full" HTML5 support included in the latest Webkit nightly's? In that case it's not to hard for Apple to add support.

It's up in the Air really, Safari 5 could be previewed at the developer sessions, but I doubt it will be previewed at the WWDC Keynote.

But if they talk about Safari 5, they might as well talk about the next big cat 10.7. Again they may give Devs a preview but only during the developer lessons/sessions after the Keynote.


I personally think apple should be enhancing mobile safari.

I assumed everyone knew Canada was a country....

Hmm, I think KDE may disagree with you there. Also, I'm sure Google aren't following in anyone's footsteps. They plough their own furrow it seems. I personally find them more interesting from a technology and inovation POV than Apple, but Apple crap all over them with marketing savvy.
 
brillant promoting something that you very own browser doesn't support.

I never been wowed by any HTML5 animation
the way I have been wowed by 30fps flash animation.

Flash is better with smooth vector graphics...html5 animation looks jagged
and dated.
 
Chrome competition is good. Changes made to webkit from google, say support for HTML5 components, will wind up in Safari. It's not so much an apple get on the ball and support HTML5, it's get on the ball and keep up with webkit enhancements. Also google has more of an interest in pushing chrome, because it gets people onto their core services, which is ads.

And part of the reason Chrome is kicking Safari a$$, is because Google actually cares about a stable browser on Windows. Anyone try to use Safari for Windows? That's right, it's buggy as hell.

KHTML and KJS were adopted by Apple in 2002 for use in the Safari web browser. Apple publishes the source code for their fork of the KHTML engine, called WebKit.

The KTHML team would have been pretty pissed if Apple had taken KTHML, forked and made it closed source.

Ultimately, Apple ( and other contributors - Apple being the largest ) have done a very good job.
 
Page one news!

Steve says Safari will support HTML 5 "soon"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA 😀

It took him year and a half to fix sound issue on Mac Pro - imagine now how soon this "soon" really is...

🙄
 
Apple plans to roll out HTML5, but iWeb still sucks. How about making iWeb the shining example of a program designed to make HTML5 sites.
