Ok, Cool Safari Feature

Neat thing I just noticed about Safari...If you drag a link from a web page to the desktop, it saves it as the Name of the link, rather than the URL, which (usually) makes it a lot easier to keep track of URL's I've saved like this.

I, Competitor

Robert Cringely is making the argument that the introduction of Safari and Keynote from Apple, may be heralding a new era in the Apple/Microsoft relationship.

So the fact that Apple would this week introduce its own web browser was not only a surprise, it was a shock.  And the Apple browser, called Safari, isn't some warmed-over Mozilla code, but a brand new Apple product based on KHTML from the KDE project that runs faster than IE or Netscape or even Opera, the usual web browser speed champ.  This is a major new application, and it came out of nowhere.  More than 300,000 users downloaded Safari on the first day it was available.

He brings up some interesting history that even I didn't know. Good read.
