Yep, that's it. :)
That's a great damn story. And I'm certain it wasn't a coincidence.
Exactly. And for a moment there, he bought it. :)
Much better answer.
If there is, I've never met one. :)
The original options we had weren't restricted. Also, most of them were at a lower strike price since Apple wasn't highly valued then.
Yes, please someone tell that to Ballmer. :)
Yeah, there was nothing devious there. I hope. The line about my son was partly to annoy him since he, unlike my wife, reads my blog. And we punk each other like that all the time.
Not that big. About 140 I think. My admin would know for sure.
D'oh! Yep. Noted.
My former minions probably think that. :)
My son, unlike my wife, reads my blog. That's in there just to tweak him. We punk each other like that all the time.
Yes, I have that one and I agree — excellent book.

That's just me being facetious. Don't read that much into it. Apple was an excellent place to work and I had a great relationship with Scott, Bertrand, Avie and Steve. Nobody was going to shoot me. AFAIK. :)
I'm not going to comment on the present and future of Safari and WebKit. I'm retired. I have no business doing that. And it would disrespect the fine people at Apple -- my friends -- who are still working on both.
Thank you! I'm typing as fast as I can. :)
I would love to claim the foresight of planning for the iPhone all along. Alas, that was not the case. :) For any of us. We built our own browser because we didn't want to depend on another company for a critical…
The string was originally just contained "WebKit." When it became "AppleWebKit" in mid-December (as I recall) then, yes, it was more likely to be discovered. But I felt that a 17.x.x.x address would be the clincher and…
