a few months ago i did a past of a youtube video of me talking a bout the mac i plan to get a lot has change and here is an update.
Summary.
Earlier this week at WWDC (apple event) apple announced that they will be shipping a version of Safari apples browser for Windows. the original beta had a few venerability's but on Wednesday they released 3.1 which fixes these problems but not another I have come over it crashes each time I enter my proxy at school so I had to wait to this weekend. I had heard that safari 2 did not work with vox but as you can see I am posting in it now in Safari 3 so that is good. it has a few new feature and here a list of some. My only commplaint is the menu ba is 2" thick arrgh.
Search has a new look. I find this useful as the screen dims and highlights the words you want to see and it make it very easy to do.
Text Fields resize. The diagonally-striped resize handle now appears in the corner of text fields, allowing you to resize them as needed. The resizing happens live on the Safari page and the rest of the web page adjusts to accommodate the new size.
You can drag tabs. Safari now allows you to reorder your tabs by simply dragging them to a new spot. I'm not entirely sure how I'll use this, but again it's a nice feature to have.
Tab closing warning. I first saw this in Firefox and then in IE but find this to be great because I often realize I have got a tab I want to e
Google server search. If Safari cannot find a server when you enter a URL, it now offers a Google search box on the error page.
You can drag tabs out as new windows. Safari 3 lets you grab a tab and drag it out of the tab bar or onto the desktop where it morphs into a new window.
Add bookmarks for all tabs. A nice new bookmarking feature that lets you add more than one new bookmark at a time based on the number of open tabs in the currently displayed Safari window.

Yes tomorrow at 6pm in the UK I will be hovering around my computer with the F5 button following WWDC (apples world wide developers conference) were will know we will see a full feature version of leopard OS X 10.5. because of this I decided I will do some last minutes guess as to what will happen.
- iLife 07 and iWork 07 (possibly one product and integrated in leopard)
- Leopard OS X 10.5 full feature set and Touch built in
- New iMac not at WWDC but around then
- New Cinema Displays
- New Finder
- Blu-Ray
- iPhone final info
I was thinking what should Apple make next and my top 5 have to be...
- A touch screen MacBook
- An iGame (apple games console)
- A new monitor (with built in iSight)
- A Mini MacBook Pro (12.2")
- Black iMac + iphone Nano
- (Widescreen iPod we all know it is coming)
I do know that the mac books are black but i like this because it is not just the mat black but it has shine and i think it looks good just like the black iMac above and the power mac G6.
Apple must be happy with having the WWDC06 video sessions available via iTunes for ADC members, as another set of videos has just been rolled out for developers. This latest collection includes:
- Graphics & Media State of the Union
- Welcome to Xcode
- Taking Advantage of Leopard Features in Cocoa
- Mac OS X State of the Union
- IT State of the Union
