WSJ: Apple reveals substance with Safari, Keynote: 'Positioned ostensibly as competitors to Microsoft's own Internet Explorer Web browser and PowerPoint presentation software, Apple's Safari and Keynote are only the start, according to Gomes: He said that Apple is presumably working on new word processing and spreadsheet software to compete with Microsoft's own Word and Excel. "Microsoft Office for the Mac costs users 300 very high-margin dollars that Apple would just as soon keep for itself," said Gomes.' [MacCentral]

Beyond the Safari Hype: "Apple's new Safari Web browser has taken off faster than a brushfire on the Serengeti Plain. Within 24 hours of its January 7th introduction, Apple counted more than 300,000 downloads. But how many people are actually using Safari for everyday Web browsing, and what do Mac community gurus think of it?" [osOpinion]

Intro to 802.11g: "Reader Joe M. wrote in with a link to this great intro to 802.11g for home networking users. The article centers around Apple's new Airport Extreme base station, but it also contains more general info about the 802.11g specification (range, backwards compatibility, etc.)." [Ars Technica]

Bye Chimera, thanks for trying: "As posted on Slashdot (ugh!), Mike Pinkerton, the lead developer of Chimera is thinking about stopping development on Chimera, now that Apple has released Safari. I'm torn about what to do with Chimera. It's obvious it will only ever be a marginal product on a even more marginal platform." [Blogzilla - a blog about Mozilla]

My crystal ball: "My crystal ball tells me that in 2003 someone will create a Safari-inspired (by which I mean also based on KHTML and having similar to Safari look and feel) browser for Windows. The idea is obvious to conceive, easy to implement and hard to resist. Someone will do it." [Krzysztof Kowalczyk's Weblog]
