Downloaded Safari 4. I like it, think I’ll keep it.

Q: What does it mean when the upper right corner of a page is dog eared to reveal a white star in a field of blue on the Top Sites page?

The concentration on a fast JavaScript engine is what is required for some of the upcoming web applications.

Sadly, I think JavaScript is the wrong tool for the job, but that’s me. ActiveX is the even-worse tool for the job. They’re both unsafe and can manipulate files on your computer...

but I see where Apple is going here, and it is this: they want to be the fast-fast-fast browser for net-based and distributed apps.

Thought this was a cool hack to apply to the Safari 4 browser. It uses a pie-chart to show progress as a website loads. The pie-chart overlaying the website favicon during the load. It also restores the ability to add a separate "reload" icon to the toolbar (I know you can use the looping-arrow icon appearing to the right of the URL, but I'm use to the stand-alone "reload" icon).
