An anonymous reader writes "MozillaZine is reporting that version 0.6 of Chimera, the Mozilla-based browser for Mac OS X, has been released, packed full of fun new stuff for MacBeards to play with. The Chimera homepage has a lovely shiney globe on it and lets you download the new release." etdebruin writes "Head on over to mactopia to find the 10.1.2 Office X update from Microsoft released today."

    eh? what's a MacBeard? open source mac coders?

  2. Phoenix for Mac OS X by X_Caffeine · · Score: 5, Interesting

    While you're checking Chimera out, give Phoenix for OS X a try. This is an UN-official port of the Phoenix browser, which was created to accomplish more-or-less the same thing on Win and Linux that Chimera does.

    The Phoenix group said that they weren't going to pursue an OS X version because the Chimera group has that covered for Mac users... but I gotta tell you, this "experiment" is already much faster than Chimera (on a G3 400mhz 300mb RAM, the differences are very pronounced; on a faster machine, possibly not so much).
