It is interesting how different Web Browsers render fonts. I wonder why Google Chrome on this particular computer running Windows 7 doesn’t render the fonts correctly.
I can smell conflict of interest paired with jackassery on an article at GigaOM which I will not link here. The post is titled “Browsing the web on an iPad stinks–and Apple likes it that way” and written by a guest contributor who has a personal agenda. This particular GigaOM guest contributor is either clueless or shilling for his own company. Badmouthing mobile Safari while selling a native iOS app for web-content delivery.
For that this GigaOM guest contributor has a place in the litter box.
Shame on you GigaOM for publishing an advertisement disguised as a poorly written article.
You’ve got to be kidding me!
Apple releases Safari 6.0.2 and iPhoto 9.4.2
UPDATE:
JavaScript Blacklist Safari Extension 1.0.1 is available.
What is Drew Thaler’s JavaScript Blacklist Safari Extension?
JavaScript Blacklist is a simple extension for Safari 5 which blacklists scripts from a configurable list of domains. If a common “utility” script used by sites that you visit is annoying you, this will let you opt out quickly and easily.
John Gruber linked to Drew Thaler’s page which was hosted on MobileMe: http://homepage.mac.com/drewthaler/jsblacklist/
The problem is that Apple has shut MobileMe down starting July 1st, 2012.
You can easily copy Drew Thaler’s JavaScript Blacklist Safari Extension from other computers. You can also download it here. I copied it from one of my computers and zipped it.
Safari 5.1.1 is still suffering from hang-ups and excessive memory usage despite of what Apple claimed. In OS X Lion, Safari 5.1.1 hangs up when opening multiple tabs or windows. Safari 5.1 becomes unresponsive as phantom page reloads occur.
I noticed this as I was downloading files in the background. The download was interrupted as the phantom page reloads happened.
