Safari 3 Fails on Apple’s Own Site - Firefox 3 Succeeds

Wednesday, June 18th, 2008

Firefox 3 just came out yesterday and already it’s rendering sites better than Safari 3 - and one of them is Apple’s own website!

Apple has a page explaining how .Mac syncing works at mac.com using Quicktime videos. I went there with Safari 3.1.1 and there was just a big blank area, and no videos, nothing happened when i clicked any of the links on the left. I launched Firefox 3.0 and it rendered perfectly!

I’m an insufferable bore this week as I namedrop my way through D6 - All Things Digital. Melinda Gates’ interview at d6.allthingsd.com, Dean Kamen’s interview at d6.allthingsd.com. Link to all of my photos at flickr.com/nosillacast.. Then Bart and I talk about the fixes on 10.5.3 (especially spaces) - Bart’s blog post about it. Then we discuss why I think Flickr is weird and hard to understand and why he thinks it’s marvelous.
