Safari 4 public β on OS X
Problem...solved !
I failed to run Safari 4 public β this morning, so I googled some info and I found the solution. It was because of Glims, a useful plugin I've using with Safari 3.x.
Now the developer of Glims did a quick & great job, they announced they have already fixed the problem Glims crashes Safari 4.
So, I uninstalled older version of Glims, and installed a new version of it, Glims build 13 for Safari, and it works perfect with Safari 4 now.
Taste...Good!
I've browsed for about an hour or so, and usability and taste is almost as same as Windows version of Safari 4 and I have no doubt that this is the finest version in Safari history.
Summary
Since I've been a user of Google Chrome when I'm on Windows for several month and I'm a big fan of it, so I've been waiting for OS X version of Google Chrome. But I see that Safari 4 is something like "Apple has released Google Chrome instead of Google for us".
Apple really did a great job.
OS X Window managing system
I've read this article and really agree with it:
I've been a user of Mac OS X, Ubuntu Linux, and Widows XP, and now I'm testing Windows 7 in my parallels desktop on my MacBook. Every time I use Windows, all I need, the first thing I miss,...is Spaces.
I've found a tool recently which can do the same thing what we can do with OS X Spaces. The application is named "Desktops" and I've been using for about a month and I cannot use Windows without it.
Even there's a solution like this, I still miss Spaces, maybe it is because Spaces is implemented in OS by default and works stable and beautiful. Yes of course I can do the same thing on Windows, but it's not stable enough and it sometimes behaves strange so I have to reboot my system to refresh it occasionally.
I think Windows 7 works far more better and works great and fast enough and I can use it without having too much tech-stress than XP and Vista, so I'm waiting for its official release. I hope Microsoft add more improvements before it comes out on market.
Here is an interesting article which you can see the history of GUI.
I'm so impressed by the work Xerox done on 8010 Star operating system. We can see that the first GUI already implemented the basic GUI metapher everywhere in OS. Pretty amazing.
