“It’s very easy to do,” he said. “We can only assume that other people have used.”

Grossman said he discovered the bug doing research on browser vulnerabilities intends to present at a security conference in Las Vegas next week. At that time, said he also will present the most damaging insects that affect versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer, the most widely used Web browser. Grossman said that Safari is currently used by 83 million people.

We want all users to be happy – and if we can not make ‘em happy, give them a full refund.”

Jobs acknowledged that the issue of the antenna has been a challenge for public relations society, but things do justice to its customers “that drives us. When we have this kind of problems and people criticize us, we take it very personally “she said,” Maybe we should have a wall of public relations people to insulate, but he did – that our users have a problem, we have a problem. ”
