| In the speech predicting how Apple would expand its market share, Jobs showed 
| a slide with Safari dominating almost a quarter of the market--a market 
| shared only with a single other browser, Internet Explorer.

| but instead an indication that Jobs is hoping to steal people who use Firefox 
| and other smaller browsers in order to run a "duopoly" with Redmond.
