Slashdot Mirror


Safari Beta 2 Available

pldms writes "Safari Beta 2 is available via Software Update or from the Safari page. This is build 73, for those who've had 'exclusive' access to previous development versions since beta 1 ;-) The blurb: 'Safari Beta 2 introduces tabbed browsing to conveniently see and switch between multiple web pages in a single window, and AutoFill to instantly fill out web forms and password fields. This update also features increased standards compatibility and improved application stability.'" I had to set Lax Certificate Checks in the Debug menu to use it with Slashdot ... and its secure cookie check is still quite broken (either saves secure cookies without the secure flag, or sends out secure cookies to insecure sites, which would violate RFC 2965 where it says "no less than the same level of security").

    Dear Apple,

    I am a homosexual. I bought an Apple computer because of its well earned reputation for being "the" gay computer. Since I have become an Apple owner, I have been exposed to a whole new world of gay friends. It is really a pleasure to meet and compute with other homos such as myself. I plan on using my new Apple computer as a way to entice and recruit young schoolboys into the homosexual lifestyle; it would be so helpful if you could produce more software which would appeal to young boys. Thanks in advance.

    with much gayness,

    Father Randy "Pudge" O'Day, S.J.

    maybe slashdot's "security" is fucked up.


    After all, Safari is developed by professional software engineers. Slashdot is run by open-source rejects.

    Dear Father Randy,

    Possessing an Apple computer alone is not enough to guarantee your gay experience. To enhance it, I recommend that you familiarise yourself with an ideology called "free software".

    Cheers,

    Randy

    ... ah, now that I've clicked on the link and realized that this is an "Apple" news item, I'm beginning to understand. For Beta 3, please mention in the blurb that this is about a web browser for Macs, thank you :-).

    I can't wait to see how the tabbed browsing implementation looks/feels.

    But the real news about Safari is that it's so darn quick with innovative features!

    Oops! Confused the link. Sorry.

    Who cares if there is a command line version?

    My Mac just popped up a dialog box, I ticked a box and pressed a button and it was downloaded and installed.

    Dear Father O'Day:

    Thanks for your letter. Being Catholic myself, I know exactly what you're talking about! It has always been our plan here at Apple Computer Inc to revolutionize personal computing with our high-quality and highly gay products.
    I'm happy to answer your letter by letting you know that YES we will be releasing an entire hLife ("homo-life") software line. You'll be able to recognize it in stores by the small stylized logo depicting a large cock entering a tight anus with an Apple logo on it. ("Suddenly it all comes together" indeed!).
    Anyway, I hope you and other members of our community will join us on our mission, and purchase the exciting new hLife boxed set. Only the boxed set comes with translucent cock rings!

    Sincerely,

    Harry Rodman
    Vice-president
    Homosexual Liaison Services
    Apple Computer, Inc.
