Safari 3 Public Beta: Missing Texts on Windows XP

UPDATE 06.15.2007
One thing that is different on the computer effected, it previously had Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 installed and uninstalled. This is not necessarily the cause. I’m still trying to find the culprit.
Out of numbers of Windows XP computers I installed Safari 3 Public Beta on, one is having a weird problem. All the texts are missing including within the page and the menu. I am not sure what is really going on since so far this only happens on one computer running Windows XP.

I have yet installed Safari 3 Public Beta on Windows Vista. That’s coming soon.

Apple and AT&T: “Get ready for Apple iPhone”

Apple and AT&T are e-mailing out the notice for iPhone release.

Most interesting part is the following:

iTunes Account
To set up your iPhone, you’ll need an account with Apple’s iTunes Store. If you already have an iTunes account, make sure you know your account name and password. If you don’t have an account, you should set one up now to save time later. To set up an account, launch iTunes, select the iTunes Store, and click the “Sign In” button in the upper right corner of iTunes. Sign in and you’re ready to go.

Not sure what that means.

Get ready for  iPhone

As always, someone will jump up and down; complaining about the “lock-in” of the iPhone and the service.

“I hate iTunes, I want an alternative software to interface with the iPhone.”

Safari 3 Public Beta: New “Find” Feature

Apple must have been taking a lot of note in developing Safari 3 user interface. One thing that Safari has been lacking is the “find-in-page” feature. The “Find Banner” is located on the top of the page below the Toolbar/Bookmark Bar. Mozilla Firefox has this feature for quite sometimes now; the “search bar” can be found at the bottom of the browser.

Previous “Find” feature in Safari is is almost unusable, thanks to the highlight color of the found word. This is one major improvement in Safari UI.
