Safari for Windows downloads Top 1 million.

 

More than 1 million copies of Apple Inc.’s Safari web browser for Windows were downloaded in its first two days of availability, the company said Thursday.

Earlier this week, Apple used its annual developers conference to introduce the Windows browser, a first for the Cupertino-based firm. It touted speed gains in excess of 200 percent when compared to Internet Explorer (IE), the flagship browser of long-time rival Microsoft.Apple claims Safari 3 is the fastest browser running on Windows, rendering web pages up to twice as fast as IE 7 and up to 1.6 times faster than Firefox 2, based on the industry standard iBench tests. >>MORE.

Facebook vs. MySpace

well, there are already plenty of these posts, and all you really need to know is that Facebook collects all your information and sells it to anyone they can.

Myspace on the other hand, is simply owned by an aggressive neo con that exploits and debases American culture. So, there is a trade off… which social networking site do you like more/less?

Make a Leopard Dock in Tiger!

 

Make a Tiger Dock Downloads Folder like in Leopard

One of the new features in Mac OS X 10.5 “Leopard” that Steve Jobs demonstrated during his WWDC 2007 keynote address is the Downloads Folder in Leopard’s Dock. This is cool and makes for a cleaner Desktop. However, one can do the very same thing in Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger or probably any version of Mac OS X.

Trans America: An Airline to avoid.

Yesterday i boarded a plane happy to think that i was going to be in New York in less than 5 hours. Usually a flight from a midwestern airport would take 2 hours or less, but considering i was traveling on the budget airline, Trans Am (Air Tran), i cut them some slack and thought it might even be fun having a quick layover at the busiest airport in the world located. You know the one in Atlanta Georgia?… well, Oh how wrong i was.

The flight was delayed three times and changed gates twice. Once the “gatekeeper” failed to mention any gate change and myself and numerous other customers were stranded as we found the right plane, but were still not allowed to board. Why were we not allowed to board? The plane was “closed.” The plane was closed even for over a half hour as we all sat there helpless, waiting for “the gatekeeper” to bring us the grim news.

So a simple two hour flight cost me 11 hours of my day and really my night too. So avoid Trans Air if possible, and always avoid it if it is passing through Atlanta during rush hours.
