Anil Dash and Apple [renamed, updated]

[update: this wasn't a fair (or accurate) post.  I apologize.  I have clarified in another post and I'm keeping this up because Anil's response is worth keeping around for my 7 visitors to read.]

I can't help but notice these facts:


Safari isn't well supported on Vox.
The iPhone isn't well supported on Vox.
Anil Dash doesn't like Apple.
Anil Dash is the CTO of Six Apart, the parent company for Vox.

So, not to be rude, but I have to point out that all of these statements are wrong. In reverse order, our co-founder/CTO is Ben Trott, who did all the coding for creating our first two products, Movable Type and TypePad, exclusively on Macs. As I type this, I'm on my main machine, a MacBook running Safari. I don't dislike Apple, I dislike the fact that me offering a single criticism of Apple is perceived as some kind of threat, even though I've spent thousands of dollars of my own money on their products -- that's just weird and irrational.

The iPhone could definitely be better supported on Vox, but our company released the first blogging interfaces for the iPhone for TypePad and Movable Type, and our upcoming dedicated blogging client for the iPhone was actually mentioned in Apple's own press release about the success of the iPhone SDK. And Vox was one of the first blogging services anywhere to offer a rich text editor on Safari, despite the fact that Safari was slow to support the necessary technology to make that possible.

I don't mean to be rude, but you've missed the mark a bit here. That being said, we can always improve what we do to support Safari, and I'll take that feedback back to the team.

Yeah, that wasn't fair. Time for a new post.
