The rest of the human race exists only to serve my needs. If you can't in some way make my life better, then please die, as you are only consuming resources that may possibly be of utility to me.
An app called Cocoa Gestures (site seems to be down at the moment) allows mouse gestures in any Cocoa app, so there's no need for individual browsers to support them.
Safari has all the features you've listed, with the notable exceptions of remembering sessions and an integrated mail client. Until someone integrates mutt into their browser, count me out on that one.
I'm afraid I don't know too much about Opera; they seem to be unable to produce a working version for OS X. The version they have out now (6.02) runs on OS X, but it certainly doesn't work. The evil interface aside, it's standards support is completely bogus, and it's wildly unstable. I hear that some of these issues fixed in Opera 7, but Mac users will probably never see this.
It turns out that you were right about the size of Opera. I stand corrected.
It amazes me that people are still willing to pay for a browser. Forty bucks? Surely they can't be serious.
It's got a lot of those small features that make Apple stuff so damned cool.
Stop/Reload use the same button, depending on whether or not the page is loaded. Why didn't anyone else think of this?
The bookmark manager is so sweet it's been known to make grown men cry. So cool that the Camino guys are working on copying it.
Three meg or so download. Remember when Opera could claim this?
SnapBack makes getting back to search results very easy.
Spell-checking in textareas. No tpyos in this post!
So, no, it's not going to revolutionize browsing or anything. Since browsing technology has likely reached it's apex, all that's left are the small things.
Apple's Music Store allows you to authorize up to three Macs to play your purchased music. They could have allowed you to share music with any machine that has your key. This would satisfy the "want to listen to home music at work" request while still meeting their responsibility not to allow outright piracy.
Leave it up to morals? I think the outrageous success of Kazaa and gnutella are testament to the effectiveness of this strategy. You can't rely on people being honest when there's money involved. Sad as it is, we're all thieves when we get the chance.

Pardon my honesty, good sir.
Check it out.
How much more do we need to know about the causes for cancer or AIDS?
Shouldn't we be looking for the cures instead?
IE/Mac and IE for windows have always been completely separate products.
Really, they don't even come from the same company. The Mac Business unit is pretty independent these days.
"Hey kids! You can exercise while you play video games!"
Brilliant.
I'm not saying they innovated, but they definitely refined.
Well, BeOS had some great icons :)
Look, even OS X users want them.

I guess your cunning retort defeats his entire argument. Thank you, oh wise one, for contributing so much to the discussion.

Since they opened their Music Store.
You think the participating record labels are happy to see iTunes become the latest in music sharing apps?
That's AppleMusic.com.
iTunes.com is "Coming soon..."
I've never used it, but you're talking about PS-HTTPD.
Pretty cool, eh?
14% of all people know that.

So if the music industry refuses to sell music online, you have the right to steal it because that's easier than buying a CD?
Uhm...
Apple has proven that it can.

slashdot yro pages should just say "yes, just like 1984" across the top in giant letters so that people like you don't have to point it out.
I don't think you have a clear picture of the Slashdot demographic. For many, Slashdot is a substitute for SOs and social activity.
Some of us are just really high and bored.
The Compubrick 160, SE, and 6100.
Freakin cool Macs.
That's the cowsay cow. According to the cowsay license file it is distributed under the same license as Perl: the GPL or the Artistic License.
Yes, cowsay is rad.
In the US, it's friday night. Little news is being generated. Most people are out doing something.
Except us, of course.
Party on, clbyjack81!
RMS is bitter about his inability to be at all relevant in the past few years.
Linus has been actively hacking, RMS has done nothing but blow hot air.
