When I re-read my 2006 piece “And Oranges” today before linking to it, I paused when I read this:
And while it is easy to find ways to complain that Apple is not
open enough — under-documented and undocumented security updates
and system revisions, under-documented and undocumented file
formats — it would be hard to argue with the premise that Apple
today is more open than it has ever been before. (Exhibit A: the
Web Kit project.)
It’s not often I get to fix 20-year-old typos, and to my 2026 self, “Web Kit” looks like an obvious typo. But after a moment, I remembered: in 2006, that wasn’t a typo.
