Something a lot of us have been expecting for a long time- and such a greater way to gain some marketshare too. They’ve also released Safari v3 for Mac OS X.

It’s currently beta and can of course be fetched from the Apple website. It contains everything the OS X release does and the blazingly fast WebKit rendering engine.. oh my.

If you have problems installing it on Vista, you may need to open an elevated command prompt (Right click > Run as Administrator) and type the following:
regsvr32 vbscript.dll
It seems the Install Shield installer isn’t corectly detecting some of the Windows components.

At about 12PM Today, I was greeted by a man dressed in a blue suit from Star Track Express out the front of our house. There was no question about what he was delivering – it could only be one thing. Of course, I also knew this because I’d been refreshing the tracking page on the Star Track Website (left for delivery at 7:53AM).

The package was signed for and I was given a small brown box just large enough to contain the Mac Mini as well as some extra padding foam. I quickly whipped it away to my room and opened the box to reveal what was inside.

I decided I’d give Apple a call today to see what they could do about the shipping on my Mac Mini – it was expected to ship on the 22nd and be delivered by 28th. Much to the delight of myself, the Apple guy said that because I live in Sydney, I’d most probably receive it on the 23rd. Okay I was thinking – Apple is giving me a birthday present on my birthday!

This wasn’t the case. Much to the delight of myself I noticed after I came home from work that I had an email stating “Shipment notification for order # 7033747490″. First I thought this was spam as there were no tell tale signs of it being from Apple. A quick check of the mail headers which showed it was from Apple and I decided the attachment was safe.

So now i’m looking at something like below on the Apple site, with the date of arrival the 23rd – but it should be here by Monday due to my close proximity. The tracking number isn’t up at Star Track however, so we’ll see.

Can’t wait.

Yes people, it is time. Time to make the switch.

Of course, now I need to order a 4 port KVM Switch which supports DVI and USB. I found one for $318.00.

Michele, are you proud of me now? Hehe.

Essential OSX apps? Give me advice!

Enter Apple’s iPod Nano. It’s funny how apple continues to amaze me, especially with the iPod. They already have the market share and I don’t see them (especially with this release) loosing it any time soon.

This would be possibly apart of the reason they decided to change the iPod mini to a 6gb model too – though down here they still seem to be selling the 4gb mini and not the 6gb one in alot of places.

Of course, they didn’t just finish their with the release of the iPod Nano:

• The Harry Potter iPod
• iTunes 5
• iTunes Mobile Phone

Normal broadcasting will resume soon with:

• My thoughts on Shaun Inman’s Mint
• Changes to MyBB (Including some big ones – well some I’d call big)
• Open Source Licensing (could that possibly be related to something above? – Wait and see)
• + Other tid bits
