An example of such a browser/OS combination might be, for example, Internet Explorer 4 running on Windows 98. In doing so, we better protect our customers from viewing a phishing site through their browser. We have absolutely no intention of blocking current versions of any browsers, including Apple’s Safari, from our website.”

They are not going to block Safari users.

This quote from 9 to 5 Mac this morning:

There surely is no way of avoiding repetitions as well, question then really is what style you prefer… Mayor is doing a good job due to this point, getting highrollers and my attention… I started to get my information predominantly from here and Mactechnews, a german site…

in agreement with highroller, using a pseudonym and simply ranting without even the speck of a solution is much more doubtable in my eyes… waste of time, that is…

I for one enjoy reading his takes on the mac news. It isn’t ‘regurgitated’ news at all. He always puts his own spin on things. I’ve been reading the site for a long time now and keep coming back every day.

If you don’t like it, tough nuggies… Why don’t you start your own site or at least put your name on your comments instead of signing it ‘B’ 🙂
