It's also a cracking EP that was released by The Breeders

It's also a fragrance by Ralph Lauren; I think my mom used to wear it back in the day...

Tell me! Free? Where to get? Sounds good

Anyhoo, use Firefox too, plugins are the best thing ever invented! It does tend to crash every now and then though

For the Macmen, just had this in a newsletter: First impressions of Leopard (in German, but you get the point when looking at the piccies

)

And Safari is a great song by Nacht und Nebel too, by the way

yep, its free

UNO - 1.5.1

lovely

i temporarily uninstalled it a couple of weeks ago to remind myself what the original ui was like and tbh i really didnt like the mix of aqua, cocoa, dark metal, etc

i seen re-installed it

with uno all applications look like part of the same OS. its a nice, seemless gui integration

@ hal: blurry fonts - http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/200 ... ml?hi=joel

Joel Spolsky wrote:Apple and Microsoft have always disagreed in how to display fonts on computer displays. Today, both companies are using sub-pixel rendering to coax sharper-looking fonts out of typical low resolution screens. Where they differ is in philosophy.

- Apple generally believes that the goal of the algorithm should be to preserve the design of the typeface as much as possible, even at the cost of a little bit of blurriness.
- Microsoft generally believes that the shape of each letter should be hammered into pixel boundaries to prevent blur and improve readability, even at the cost of not being true to the typeface.

Now that Safari for Windows is available, which goes to great trouble to use Apple's rendering algorithms, you can actually compare the philosophies side-by-side on the very same monitor and see what I mean. I think you'll notice the difference. Apple's fonts are indeed fuzzy, with blurry edges, but at small font sizes, there seems to be much more variation between different font families, because their rendering is truer to what the font would look like if it were printed at high resolution.

etc

also, afaik its a setting in the pc version of safari to change the way it ant-aliases

i still prefer its approach to that of ie7 & vista though

Well, that's only to be expected; Apple is the designers' computer, whereas PCs are for illiterates
