| Apple doesn't get the open source development model and has a very control
| oriented corporate culture and that doesn't mesh very well with an open,
| collaborative environment. Apple is getting better at it, or at least parts
| of Apple are getting it. I hope to look at it in five years and say this was
| growing pains for Apple to get where it is.

| a slide with Safari dominating almost a quarter of the market--a market
| shared only with a single other browser, Internet Explorer.
|
| Lilly says he doesn't believe that this was an omission or simplification,
| but instead an indication that Jobs is hoping to steal people who use Firefox
| and other smaller browsers in order to run a "duopoly" with Redmond.
