New Apple Lust Objects

ooh safari betas for mac and pc are up

http://www.apple.com/safari/

just appeared

(er x-post obv)

safari beta link takes me to the downloader for Safari 1.2

ha ha, the sidebar on it isn't rendering properly (on my safari that is)

fixed now

How does that work then? The last keynote they were wanging on about how Live Find used Core Animation and depended on Leopard etc

http://www.apple.com/safari/download/ options:

Safari for Mac OS X v10.4.9 or later
Safari+QuickTime for Windows XP or Vista
Safari for Windows XP or Vista

wait that's fucking it?

I don't get the Windows download option yet, either. I think Apple's server farm is halfway through the page rollout and is shitting a brick.

ha ha i see the dock 3d effect. it's like a shelf that the dock icons sit on. teh funny

yay

CalDAV in iCal!

Safari 3 froze up on being opened for the first time. Nice.

finder sidebar organised like itunes sidebar. part of the slow convergence on metadata model there.

mac or pc? xpost

desktop demo shows that the new dock is a FUCKING WET LOOK FLOOR. stacks looks nice tho!

xp - Mac

Works fine now, I guess. Only some drop down menus that halfway worked with Safari 2 now don't work at all.

Draggable tabs, great
Nixed Acid search, not great

Shit, it'll nix Inquisitor too then, and that's a fucking great plugin.

Bit worried about Acid search as the guy has not updated since 2005, any other good search plugins?

Inquisitor, definitely. It used to be pay-for, is now free, but the guy is updating it. It pulls Google results as you type, so you can get to the top three hits w/out ever seeing google.

wtf @ no proxy settings in Windows version of Safari. I also killed it once already.

If this means it goes straight outside, then yey. Shitty IT admins at work locked down proxy settings in IE so we have to use web filtering proxy

Right, we have that too, but we also have a proxy that just captures all port 80 traffic. I usually (hope no admins see this) use a local ssh tunnel to send all of my web traffic to the outside world on a less-noticeable port and browse whatever the fuck I want, unproxied and unlogged.

oo resizing the add a comment box here.

so that, inline find, dragging tabs. anything rly good tho? :-(

I strongly suspect that WinSafari has little to do with IE and Firefox competition than it does with giving iPhone developers a platform for testing apps.

Inquisitor works with the Safari 3 beta

Why is this shit still brushed metal on OS X?

(that is my pimped out safari which i would have to painstakingly rebuild using stone-age tools from 2006)

Haha, mine used to look like that, I just tire of all the re-theming tools and crap.

OK, I'm just up to the point of spamming now, but you just know that making a URL to call someone on the iPhone is going to be call:// or something equally insecure, right? It'll likely have to prompt the user with a "call blahblah?" dialog. This is so braindead it's perfect and stupid at the same time.

Eh, you'll probably be able to set some pages/apps to be trusted for call://

i'm seeing CSS3 stuff -- curved corners at least

Inline search is pretty neat in Safari 3

WinSafari crashes for me when trying to play video on APPLE'S OWN SITE.

Also it refuses to recognise the thumb button on my mouse, which I'm used to using for "back" and which I feel disabled without. UNINSTALL.

i'm gonna wait till safari 3 isn't beta is what I'm gonna do.

yeah ditto

i'm pretty irritated that my bookmarks are scattered across three different browsers as it is

HTTP://DEL.ICIO.US

</jw>

del.icio.us is my friend. that google browser sync thing also ain't half bad, if you use firefox everywhere

Foxmarks is great.

Is that better now? It used to make FF on Mac crawl like fuck on some text entry fields. xp

The extension for firefox that lets you use del.icio.us basically like bookmarks is v. v. handy indeed.

where/how can i test how contenteditable support has changed?

(never mind, if i spoof as netscape the wordpress RichText editor works a treat now, and that's good enough for me.)

A few weeks or months ago Jon linked to a site that gauged best time to buy Macs based on expected revision dates. I can't remember the name of the site, can JW or anyone else repost link plz?

http://mactactic.com/

Though bear in mind they've had the iMac at 100% replacement likelihood for quite some time. I think http://buyersguide.macrumors.com is better, as it gives you more information on cycle history.

took my mother to get a new MBP at the Apple Store today - they're nice. Screen (matte, in this case) appears to be a serious improvement over the last generation.
