Three reasons to avoid the Safari browser

[Crispy]

'evaluation copy' = pirate it. There's no copy control on OSX, so there's no drawback to running a hot copy (apart from your morals/apple's bottom line)

Leopard is worth it for Time Machine on its own.

Oh I see.

I would have assumed that running a pirated version would be risky but if Crispy's comments are correct then maybe not.

Setting aside moral considerations of course.

Leopard is worth it for Time Machine on its own.

Yup and the new spotlight which is so much better than Tiger.

Also really like Quick View (or whatever it's called)

With Perian installed I hardly ever fire up VLC now, just select the file and hit space bar does the trick.

Leopard really is a serious improvement, if your hardware can handle it.

As for Safari, well. I like the rendering and the speed, I actively don't want anti-phishing things and you've got to laugh at that Microsoft "security risk" - "oh Safari might download stuff to the desktop which Windows autoruns, clearly Safari's fault". I switch between default browsers on a regular basis, Camino, Firefox, Opera, Safari, but I can't say that's making any difference to me at all.

I've seen several examples of phishing pages that would fool an experienced developer. It may or may not require common sense, but it does require a little less arrogance.

Go on, I'll bite Experienced developer here. What kind of things do phishers do that would fool me? Assume that I treat anything that lands in my inbox that I didn't request personally as automatically suspicious...
