You do know that Apple created WebKit (off of Konqueror, IIRC) which powers Safari, Chrome, Kindle, iOS, Android, webOS, and many other platforms, right?

Are you kidding me Apple? Pathetic support, especially considering all the privacy invasion leak scandal stories involving Safari. :(
PS: The latest iTUNES is available for Leopard. Go figure.
