Some of you have noticed that I’ve been away from blogging for a while. After being away for more than a year, I’ve decided to get back into blogging. I will be moving this site into a new host and redesign the blog.
Safari now on Windows
Steve Jobs once said that iTunes on Windows was like “giving ice water to someone in hell”. Today, Apple is giving more ice water to the people of hell by releasing a public beta of Safari 3.0 to Windows users.
According to Apple, Safari 3.0 is 2 times faster than Internet Explorer and 1.6 times faster than Firefox 2 when loading pages. Safari 3 also executes JavaScript up to 2.8 times faster than Internet Explorer and up to 1.6 times faster than Firefox 2.0.
What’s new?
- Improved inline find. When using the Find Command in Safari (cmd-f), a find bar will appear on top allowing you to enter your search term. When a matched text is found, Safari will dim the page and show the selected match with an orange background with white border.
- Drag and drop tabs.
- Resizable text field — Safari lets you resize textarea forms.
Windows and Mac users can now download the public beta from http://www.apple.com/safari/download/
