VaKo Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Its all about the iPhone, since they won't open it up to developers they have to rely on web app's (which is odd since it doesn't have 3G). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VaKo Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 You can run regular linux on a Treo 650 but there is a good reason I don't. It stops being a good phone. If you want a cool device that runs regular linux check out the nokia n770 or n800. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jollyrancher82 Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 The problem with todays "geek generation" is that they all expect beta products to function like release candidate products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooper Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Similarly, a lot of release candidate products are functioning like beta products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unasoto Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Apple releasing this doesn't surprise me apple and microsloth have been hand in hand ever since Bill bailed out Steve in the late 90's with the MS office for Mac deal. Apple got office and Bill got big chunk of apple stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan Hunt Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 I tried the thing also. Personally I can't do anything cuz as soon as I try to enter anything in a text field the broswer crashes. Now I do know my PC needs a fresh reinstall but how come IE and FF don't complain with a fatal errors when I try to search something in google :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aingeal Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Downloaded yet another patch for it today and finally things render and i'm actually seeing text labels on the browser. It takes about 30secs to a MINUTE to load some sites for me, on a 10meg line. Clearly just telling people its the fastest browser doesn't make it true. Maybe next time they'll get off their fat asses and make their shit work BEFORE releasing a public beta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan Hunt Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I think you're too hard on them. As long they have the BETA in the name they could pretty much release notepad and promote it as a web browser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jollyrancher82 Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Beta products have bugs, stop thinking that no bugs exist. Don't want bugs go use a stable product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leapo Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Let me summarize my browser experience with Safari - I open Safari and maximize the window. I am annoyed that the toolbar is misaligned with the rest of the window. - I notice the text on web pages looks bolded. I attempt to turn it off, but there is now "off", just high, medium, and low. - I type C: into the address bar, Safari looks back at me and drools (every other browser on earth has this one figured out). - I go back to Apple.com and begin watching the iPhone demo video. About 1 minute in, Safari crashes without warning. I come to the realization that I can't even brows the Apple website properly using their browser. I quickly uninstall Safari before it makes Windows bend over and pull its ass-cheeks apart for the whole internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garda Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Don't mean to sound dumb or nothing, but, what's the point putting aside the geek impulse to play with anything new or different, what incentive do i have to use safari on windows what is better about safari that is not available in any other browser on windows?

Leapo Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Nothing that can't be added with a plug-in. Even the safe browsing mode in Safari has been duplicated by the Firefox extension Distrust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
