Ever since I picked up my PowerBook a few years (damn, time for an upgrade? Hee hee), I’ve always wondered why the basic text looked different from Windows XP to OS X. I never bothered to look into it because I’m very lazy and I kinda liked the contrasts between the two. Joel [...]

HAS ANYONE ELSE MADE THE “SURFING SAFARI” BLOG/NEWS ARTICLE TITLE? I wanted to give myself a dollar for being so clever! LOL. So, yeah… I installed the Windows XP beta of Safari just for the heck of it. If I think about it, I get all excited when stuff that’s NOT [...]
