Apple Life suite of applications: "I like Apple's new concept of iLife (music, photos, movies, and DVDs in one integrated digital life suite of applications). The parallel to the Microsoft Office productivity suite is intriguing. The new browser, Safari, and presentation tool, Keynote, are interesting ways to diverge from Microsoft (remember how Steve used to exclaim "Internet Explorer is the browser of choice"...). Safari has very interesting interface improvements in the areas of navigation and bookmark management; looks like a new arms race is on between browsers (I can't live without Mozilla's tabbed browsing and multi-tab bookmarks!). Safari's bug report button is a fine beta-testing touch, something I've normally included in Web-based applications for users to easily submit bug reports during testing. Expect this to become a common feature, beyond beta versions. Keynote uses an XML-based open file format, which will promote the development of related tools and the automated creation of presentations. Subtle, smart moves." [Jinn of Quality and Risk]

Import Chimera bookmarks to Safari: "Safari has a great built-in and "almost hidden" feature: At the first launch, it imports your Internet Explorer favorites into its own Favorites library. Unfortunately, other browsers like OmniWeb or Chimera are not (yet) supported. But with this little trick, you can use this feature to import bookmarks from other browsers too. [...] simply name your export from Chimera (one of the latest builds) as "Favorites.html" and save it into~/Library/Preferences/Explorer." Then continue with the previous directions." [Mac OS X Hints]

2003: The year of anti-spam? "2003 is shaping up to be the year of anti-spam initiatives. When thinking about these issues, I keep coming back to Larry Lessig's four regulatory constraints: architecture, law, social norms, and the market..." [Jon's Radio]
