The crossroads of life and tech

Apple Releases Safari for Windows

Apple announced at the Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco today that the latest version of the Safari Browser (Safari 3) would be made available not only for Mac OS X, but also for Windows XP & Windows Vista-based PCs.

This introduces a fourth viable browser into the latest generation of the “browser wars” with Firefox, Internet Explorer and Opera being the other three contenders.

Safari 3 is currently in Beta, which explains some of the anomalies which have shown up so far. One of the most glaring I encountered on a colleagues machine was that notes on Flickr pages were not showing up in the new browser. That said, I’ll reserve my final judgement until the fully rated Safari 3 is released.

My new Camera

Well, I took the plunge and picked up a DSLR. I chose the Nikon D40x mainly because it fit my hand better than the Canon Rebel XTi.

In my very brief review from the other day, I mentioned that the two cameras carry nearly identical specs, and at the end of the day both of them are going to take excellent pictures.

I’ve posted some of my (very) early efforts up on flickr. Comments welcome. As I get more time with the camera I’ll post some more about my experiences with it.
