You are badly mistaken, I'm afraid.  Apple took KHTML, the core of 
Konqueror, my favorite browser (Yay!), improved it, and passed the results 
back to the community.  Good for apple, though the license requires it 
anyway.  Some results can be seen in the version of Konqueror in KDE 
3.1.1, though my understanding is that not all Apples improvements have 
been integrated, yet.
