MacFormat RSS feed —
Apple has thrown up a new beta version of Safari, packed with what look like some very sweet features.

Me, I'm looking forward to the full history search, though the under the hood stuff with CSS support and JavaScript looks very promising.

The Mac Observer —

While it might be interesting to find out how many people prefer a vertical on-the-side tab bar (as in OmniWeb), I'm mostly ...
