Tabbed Browsing: "I've seen a lot of comments in various Mac forums where people have claimed that "Dave Hyatt said he doesn't like tabbed browsing!" or "Dave Hyatt hates tabbed browsing!" I find these posts perplexing, because I never said any such thing, and of course the opposite is true. I love tabbed browsing. I implemented tabbrowser in the Mozilla trunk. I implemented tabbed browsing in Chimera. I implemented the version used in Phoenix. Given how many times I've implemented it, I'm amazed that people would think that I am not a tabbed browsing devotee. [...] It's really interesting just how many different choices have been made by tabbed browsing implementers. Pick the browser that implements the system you like best I guess." [Surfin' Safari]

Keynote Takes On PowerPoint: "For a new kid on the block, Keynote has a lot to offer. That it has a little catching up to do with PowerPoint should not be a surprise; the next version almost will certainly make up a lot of that ground. But for now, Keynote offers Mac users an easy, inexpensive means to make professional, PowerPoint-compatible presentations that look better than those made in PowerPoint itself."

The Subtleties Of Mac OS X: "I thought it'd be fun to frame it as an epigram of sorts; specifically, to give you a rundown of a few of my favorite lesser-known Mac OS X features, and ones that I wrote about extensively in the actual book." (O'Reilly Network via MyAppleMenu) [MyAppleMenu]

Think Spring: "By encouraging us to create usable XML representations of people, places, and things, Spring can help lay a foundation for improving the classic modes of search and navigation." (O'Reilly Network via MyAppleMenu) [MyAppleMenu]
