big news today
Apple released Safari for PCs. Holy crap. I mean, on one hand, I'm not looking forward to having to debug a 5th browser (Firefox, Opera, IE6, IE7 being the 4 others), but on the other hand, I can finally debug Safari issues without having to lug around a Mac.
The more important thing is that Apple is allowing application development for the iPhone using Safari. Details seem kind of scarce right now (I'm sure that'll be ironed out), but I'm just blown away by how "right" this feels. All this talk of Adobe AIR, Microsoft Silverlight, etc. etc.... they're missing the boat. HTML, Javascript, and CSS feels clunky and is a software engineer's worst nightmare, but it works. It's been vetted for the past [insert-any-number-between-1-to-10] years, and we're continuing to see greater adoption cause it's easy, fast, and doesn't require any additional installs (besides the browser, obv).

Within hours of Apple's public release of the beta for Safari 3.0 for Windows, three security researchers independently found holes within the new browser.
:P

personally i dislike safari - i use firefox all the way! :) the only reason people seem to like it better on mac is it seems to "fit in" with the OS much better.
