Yes, we wouldn’t want Apple’s Lawyer Legions to descend upon us because we forgot the ™ there.

I meant Website Distortion Field(tm).

Tweaking? Who needs tweaking? Safari comes with its own website distortion field, which will automatically tweak the website remotely. Some people though claim this is yet another Safari exploit.

That relies on Safari getting enough of a following that web developers consider it worth tweaking for. I’m not sure that’s going to happen. But I’m not complaining, because a diverse software ecosystem is almost always harder for malware to exploit.

It’s so websites are written to work better with the iPhone, which runs under an embedded version of Darwin (Mac OS X’s underpinnings) and uses a version of Safari. At least, that’s the explanation I’ve read from tech journalists.
