Just spent an hour diagnosing a problem between them and apple.com that they blamed on our firewalls content filtering.

Turned out apple.com is providing content safari can't handle (it works fine in firefox on the same machine).

So, are the Apple users "bleedin" because you injured them somehow?  If you smack 'em on the head, don't do it to hard, or their brain might pop out of their ear!  ;)

http://www.apple.com, click on the shop, something from metrics.apple.com tries to identify plugins... thats what does it (tries to see if you have realplayer, shockwave, quicktime etc).

Something in the support/download section as well, forgot the name, it went to a black coloured https website and they had to put a key in to get the download.

Apple users don't have brains, its part of the application process to own an Apple - Steve Jobs does all your thinking for you.

Well, everything renders fine for me in 'Store' and can't find any problems in download section. None of the true apple geeks I checked with have heard or read of any Safari problems on Apple.com

Did you report this to Apple?

Do you need some counseling for that obsession you have going, or do you think you can cure yourself? :p

No I don't need to report it... I don't care :)  the apple geeks here can report it.

Its not my obsession its theres:
them: "Apple.com doesn't work, its your firewall"
me: "works for me in IE"
them: "well it doesn't work for us therefore its your firewall"

...1 hour later after twiddling with IPS and CFS settings, sniffing packets etc...

them: "oh it works for us in firefox, thats wierd ummm..."
me: "grrrrr"
