I’ve found a fault in Apple.com! Do I deserve a medal or something!?

Apple, the company of absolute perfection and absolutely no room for error, has buggered up… and I know it’s industrially sad of me to point this out… but I just find it weird.

You’ll notice there is a difference between the horizontal viewing scroll bars on the USA and UK versions of Apple’s Mac website. It appears that Safari only exists in the States, despite the Safari website on the UK section exists, completely normally. Bizzare right? Check it out (click for larger previews):

So there you go. Do I deserve a reward? Or is there some anal reason why this is meant to be?

I think it has something to do with the recent monopolization laws regarding browsers in the EU. apple.com/fr/mac is also missing the safari link. I guess it because they are advertising only their product, not competitors. If they have one they must advertise/offer all the competitors which they aren't going to do on their website, its just easier to have none at all.

Well thats my guess, I can't think of any other reason..

  Hmmm yeah. I was thinking it could be something to do with that… but who the hell knows! lol. Sooner rather than later there will be no links to the iPhone on Apple's website because they won't want to advertise competitors products like the Nexus One and any Windows Mobile crappy thing!
