And that's the thing, they pushed Safari via a Security Update. It didn't show you a checkbox before it installed it like that Java update does. It just installed it if you had it set to install security updates automatically, when it's not a security update.
Setting "Windows Auto-Update" does similar wonky stuff. You should turn auto-updates off in both Mac & Windows systems. If what Laraul stated was true - and there was a little checkbox for Safari when doing it manually - then this is perfectly fine. Microsoft is just as guilty of this as Apple.

Again, these other companies doing similar gives Apple the right to be just as bad? Doesn't give Sun/MS the right either, but it's ok for Apple? Like I said before, I don't pidgeonhole, companies that do this, don't deserve my money. I just see more people saying it's ok for Apple to do it, but not others. No, it's not ok for any of them.
Ok so you don't give Microsoft your money either? It is extremely unfair to pigeonhole Apple for doing this, when Microsoft are equally guilty of this.

Remember you are using free software designed by Apple on a Windows based OS. They could be really cruel and not provide iTunes support for Windows if they wanted to.

Source of piracy relating to iPhones and their ilk, isn't Jailbreaking. That however is a whole different beast that even less people will listen to so I will leave it at that.
The following is taken off the support section on the Apple website as posted above.
Apple strongly cautions against installing any software that hacks iOS. It is also important to note that unauthorized modification of iOS is a violation of the iOS end-user software license agreement and because of this, Apple may deny service for an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch that has installed any unauthorized software.
It is in their every right to do this.
