Safari Passes the Acid2 Test

Posted by Zonk on from the congratulations-its-a-web-browser! dept.

TigerX writes "The Mac web browser Safari has become the first browser to pass the Acid2 test. Acid2 is a CSS/HTML test suite put out by the Web Standards Project (WASP). Developer David Hyatt had been working on the project for the past few weeks. Details can be found at his blog. The patched Safari is not yet avaliable for public consumption. It is unknown when the patches will appear in a public version of Safari."

  1. Safari was already pretty nice, thanks. by Medievalist · · Score: -1, Offtopic


    I've got a brand-new mac mini here, and it already does great web browsing.

    Now if only it would play a CD without forcing me to enter a contractual relationship with iTunes (which I am not interested in doing) I'd be less disappointed in it.

    I spent hours loading X11, fink, and xmms and regular CDs still sound just as skippy and garbled as they did with whamb.

      I didn't know there was a contractual relationship with iTunes the software. You shouldn't need to sign up for the music store just to use the iTunes program.

      iTunes is just an app. You mean you don't like the EULA?

  2. 10.4 bittorrent - network connection tampering? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I've been using a bittorrent download of 10.4 released last month/week and its causing some problems.

    My network connections worked ... meaning WORKED ... until I did a software update. After the software update, they didn't.

    This leads me to believe that Apple has gone proactive/wise to the pirates of the world, when it comes to 10.4.

    I think they probably have a little script somewhere in the ipconfig/ifconfig setup that sees your pirate codes ... ie. shit that ain't supposed to be there, and they basically disable mac address crap, or employ some other technique to screw up the Mac.

    I don't blame them :) ... just neat that they have done it. Its rather pro-active, and I think its worthy of a top-listing on /.

    I'm just to lazy to do it. Anyone out there experiencing the same problems?

    I was gonna mod the first paragraph +1 Insightful, but your second paragraph -1 Whiner or -1 Flamabait cancelled it out.
