If you’ve enabled the status bar option under the View menu in Safari, you can see the link target as you mouse over a link. If a link will open in a new window, the status bar says: Open “http://www.domain.com/” in a new window.

Cory’s book is also the very first to be offered initially both for sale and under a CreativeCommons license. That means you can also download it for free.

Thanks to marketingfix for the pointer here…I used to read ICONOCAST regularly, then they slowed down publication and it seemed to become less relevant. Hopefully the new venture will turn out to be worthwhile. ICONOCAST has been gradually adapting its proposition over the last year culminating in this week’s relaunch under the banner of Trendsetters.com. … Read moreICONOCAST Launches Revamped Publication

Safari has been really treating me well since I downloaded it, but one thing that has been driving me a bit nutty is how the windows open. My windows have been opening as if after the first one opens – cascading down. I guess I like things neat on screen and prefer the window locked … Read moreFullScreenSafari.ape 1.0
Interesting perspective with a few interesting mockup screen shots. Definitely worth the browse. Why the distinction between regular web browsing and web browsing using specialized interfaces for structured data? Using Watson to find movie times is great, but it means having a separate application running…and for ticket purchases, it dumps me back into a web … Read moreWhy are Safari and Sherlock two different applications?
Sony amazes me again with their new device…integrated Bluetooth, a 2 MegaPixel Camera and the addition of a removeable battery are a few of the niceties…WiFi is still CF from Sony only and also still $150. The main and only issue with this unit is the price – $800! Ouch. [infoSync]
Perhaps, but I feel quite a bit different than Michael Kanellos who wrote (on Keynote) in his News.com Perspective: Technically, it was fabulous–and completely impractical. Microsoft’s PowerPoint exists for one reason: Sales representatives use it to lull their audiences into an agreeable mood before asking for money. “Your company is fabulous, but I can’t stand … Read moreMacintosh: An Acquired Taste?
Bill Gates doing his song and dance routine at CES. I have to admit that this does sound interesting. Though I doubt any time soon that we will see any Mac compatibility. While initial presentations on SPOT have stayed on the theoretical side, Gates on Wednesday demonstrated the first devices that will use the technology. … Read moreSee SPOT walk…
Don Melton, the Apple Team leader for Safari reached out to the Open Source KDE Team in this email exchange. It’s a very positive start for the relationship now that the Apple work is public. It’s great to see Apple and the KDE leadership openly embracing and respecting the work each has done.

Motorola pulled a surprise today, announcing quite a few new phones for 2003. They look great, but since most are due in the second half of 2003 we won’t see these for real for quite a while.
If you noticed in Safari, there is a Bookmark Menu pull down for rendezvous, but most likely nothing shows up just yet…This mod for Apache 1.3 should fix that. Very cool!! mod_rendezvous is an Apache 1.3.x module which when installed and enabled makes causes all running Apache 1.3.x servers to register themselves on rendezvous, and … Read moremod_rendezvous 1.3
I made three… Never Played, Most Played and Least Played Since I recently rebuilt my library everything was reset to zero anyway, so this was a good time to mix it up. I am now syncing 25 random tracks that I have yet to listen to on my iPod with each sync. pretty cool.
I think I am leaning my interest on the smaller 12″ model. I know I can live without FireWire 800, can add the SuperDrive and the 867MHz G4 is fast enough for my needs considering I have been very satisfied with my original 500Mhz model for almost 2 years. The real question is how readable … Read moreComparing the New Powerbooks…
It’s out. Download it here. Yes, I am a member of the Safari team at Apple.

Seems that Safari has a quick timeout (30 seconds) and actually won’t reach pages that I can quickly get to from Chimera. Hopefully this is just beta BS and will be resolved quickly.
