Surely you jest. This is like...almost a year old now?

3/21/2008 2:25:16 PM

3.1 has all kinds of new treats: support for CSS Animations, CSS WebFonts, and HTML 5’s video and audio tags

apple software downloader / itunes tricked me in to installing it.

3/21/2008 2:57:30 PM

Tricked again by


steve jobs?

3/21/2008 3:00:28 PM

i'm not entirely sure why anyone would want to install an apple product on their windows machine

itunes sucks donkey balls, quicktime sucks donkey balls, and yes, safari sucks donkey balls

the only browser i hate more than safari is internet explorer

Safari is so, so, so much worse.

3/21/2008 3:26:32 PM

Integrated RSS reader is nice

3/21/2008 3:27:56 PM

well, i only say that because even with the IE8 beta, i'm getting the SAME stupid rendering that i got in 6 and 7...at least safari is having DIFFERENT issues instead of spanning the same problem against 5 years worth of development

3/21/2008 3:28:28 PM

^If your code is standards compliant, you wouldnt be having problems. <3 IE8 for that.

Safari blows ass

3/21/2008 3:36:05 PM

^ actually, my code is compliant according to w3

you're welcome to suck my dick, though

3/21/2008 3:39:37 PM

safari uses 94k, firefox uses 24k

yet safari loads pages infinitely faster than firefox or IE on my computer

3/21/2008 6:23:22 PM

while safari for Windows may suck, it's really slick on Mac.
But when it came out a lot of the speculation was that it was really just a platform to get webmasters a way to write and test pages for the iPhone, which uses a mobile version of Safari. So now people can create webpages on a PC and test them with Windows Safari to make sure they will work fine on iPhone

3/21/2008 6:37:43 PM

safari's still my favorite browser. enjoy living in the past fellas

3/21/2008 9:45:53 PM

Apple is pushing Safari on people who have iTunes installed
http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/08/03/20/apple_pushing_safari_downloads_on_windows_users.html

trying their best to get back in the browser biz

3/21/2008 11:58:01 PM

Awesome, first Quicktime, now Safari.

It's now a hat trick of shitty Mac software on PCs.

Look, shitface, I dont care if your code is w8c compliant, there's no need for stupid internets reponses like this.

I refuse to even install IE8 until IT makes me, but from all (yes all) I've read about it, the two huge impacts of IE8 is standards compliance and reduced footprint.

Having developed for damn near 10 years, just because your shit passes the w3c validator, doesnt even come close to meaning its compliant code. It's a good start, but seriously

dunno what kind of netherworld you live in (IE: apple), but Safari eats a shit ton more resrouces on my machine, same for firefox. IE isnt any better, but I can say without any reservations that IE7 loads faster across the board thab FF2.x or Safari 1.3

actually, dumbass, if you'd stop and think for a moment, you'd realize YOU automatically stated that my code wasn't compliant (without asking) instead of assuming that IE8 might NOT be quite as perfect as you think it is...i realize that, with you being in seattle and all, your head is probably so far up gates ass that you can taste what he had for breakfast, but IE8 is NOT perfect (as you seem to think it is) and i've got damn near as many years as YOU do programming basic web shit

i might not be able to write web apps while crapping on the toilet, and everyone else might think you're god's gift to tech talk, but before you go running your mouth, DO realize that there are people in this world (maybe even people in TT ) who are just as capable (perhaps even more, though i suppose if you thought of this, your head might explode) of writing basic, compliant code

go fuck yourself, you self-involved, egotistical, cock-sucking...NERD.

3/22/2008 10:15:55 AM

Compliant code is awesome.

Until you actually want to display it in a web browser.

3/22/2008 12:42:03 PM

the whole # and _ ie hacks kind of break in IE8

guess it's time to go the <!--[if lt IE 8]> route

fuck

[Edited on March 22, 2008 at 12:46 PM. Reason : also, i think safari has the best looking pages, when you can get it to work]

3/22/2008 12:45:55 PM

^ haven't seen a browser display them better than safari does in os x. it's small details, but they make a difference when you build them.

3/22/2008 2:37:00 PM

i sense unrelenting feelings of hostility

that said

IE sucks

3/22/2008 3:29:45 PM

Internet Sucks

3/22/2008 7:05:06 PM

Safari's integrated RSS reader is insanely fantastic

but for my general browsing i use camino, so i suppose to me safari is a powerful RSS reader

3/23/2008 12:22:28 AM

The new safari is non-beta for Windows, how's that one working out?

3/23/2008 12:26:23 AM

^^ i like the rss reader (combining all my feeds into a folder -> one click on the bookmarks bar to combine them all on the same page, etc) but i kinna like just using Mail to do my rss since i leave it open and updating all the time...

with all the complaints against safari... i'm fairly sure they about have to be problems on the windows side; think i'll install it and see what all the hooplah's about

3/23/2008 12:41:41 AM

OMG MY COMPUTER IS BETTER AT DISPLAYING THE INTERNET THAN YOURS

I AM OBVIOUSLY A BETTER PERSON THAN YOU

I WIN AT LIFE

This guy is saying safari on windows is a good browser, better than the beta.

3/25/2008 1:34:35 AM

sounds pretty good. i wonder why they haven't tried to implement ClearType unless they just aren't allowed to?

3/25/2008 2:00:03 AM

not sure about windows but Safari is by far the best browser on the Mac. Its the fastest loading and easiest to develop on. Everything just works the way its suppose to on Safari. You guys just hate on it because its apple. oh well.

3/25/2008 7:25:20 AM

no we all just hate on apple software on a windows box

because it sucks

agreed...i don't think there's really argument against this...apple software on apple software is fine, but ANYTHING that apple puts out for windows is guaranteed to suck donkey balls

3/25/2008 9:17:26 AM

iTunes on Windows makes me angry/sad/

iTunes on Mac =

3/25/2008 9:56:49 AM

till i or my gf have any problems with apple mess on windows, i'll continue to lolz

3/25/2008 10:09:09 AM

Firefox ftw
