When a feature is not a feature

If a feature is too hard to use then it is not a feature. Jobs did extensive case studies and found that warnings about phishing simply confused people and that in the end, Apple users would rather have someone steal their identity than get confused by a feature they don't understand. Apple is all about the USER EXPERIENCE (baaaaaaa) which is something that Mozilla, Opera, and Microsoft don't understand when they show SCARY messages about phishers.

Safari is great because it doesn't take away from the Apple experience of uninterrupted computing. As the PWN2OWN contest showed, Apple users don't even like to be interrupted while their computer gets hacked!
