Tech: Like the new Safari? Well, you won’t like what it leaves behind.

  • A huge collection of crud gets dumped into an obscure folder. Look, we love the new Safari, Apple, but we’re never going to clear out pages and pages of information inside a folder called something like “/private/var/folders/et/etuAKaR1GTeV9DVeRGfst++++TI/-Caches-/com.apple.Safari/Webpage Previews/”. And you save screenshots of every web site we go to, in case they make our Top Sites in the future. So, Apple, you may want to fix that. Jerks. source

Tech: Safari 4.0’s top new features: Ooh, neat.

  • Cover flow It’s in every other freakin’ Apple product now, why not their web browser? Even better is Top Sites, which is like a web version of the TV in “Back to the Future 2.”
  • Developer tools Why not put in an elaborate set of developer tools so you can make cool Web sites for Safari? Whoever thought of this is a genius. Pay them more money, Steve!
