Power Mac G5 Image Far From Authentic As suspected, we can now positively confirm that image of the suspected Power Macintosh G5 enclosure making the rounds, and featured in Tuesday\'s article, is not authentic. The actual enclosure seen by anonymous sources is not square-edged, retains the trademark handles (though altered) and sports what is said to be a aluminum mesh/honeycomb/cheesegrater panel on the front face of the machine. The FireWire and USB ports on this front panel are also said to be accompanied by a sound port, which was not previously mentioned. Our little birdie was also eager to mention that the actual Power Macintosh G5 is "extremely more attractive" than the one that appeared in Tuesday\'s anonymous submission. Kasper Jade 22 years ago 0
Cupertino Chaos Continues Cupertino, California — The temperature outside Apple's R&D Campus reached a calm and cool 69 degrees this afternoon. Aside from the flags fluttering in the 21 mph wind outside the main entrance, all seemed calm and collected at the 1 Infinite Loop complex. Still, it came as no surprise to this friendly ghost when gasps for air could be heard emanating from the executive offices, as if the thermostat had been cranked, full blast.

1 Infinite Cantina: WWDC Rumors Fly Palo Alto, California — "I love this spot," proclaims a young man in 20's, as he attempts to recline on bar stool with no backing. His buddy quickly races over in attempt to brace his fall, barely spilling a couple of lagers straight from the tap. "Yeah... Palo Alto: a place where the beer flows like wine, where the women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano." The two men laugh together as one reaches into the cargo pocket of his cut-off khakis, retrieves a pack of smokes, and lights one. Kasper Jade 22 years ago 0

Safari Public Beta 2.0 Due Soon, Apple Quietly Seeds v69, v71 On March 23, members of Apple's Safari Software Seeding beta program received an email from Apple informing them that the Safari beta program had seen its last seeding. "Due to Safari 67 postings to the Internet, we have closed the Safari Seed project," the memo read, in part. "We know that the majority of you are not responsible for the leaks to the Internet, and we sincerely appreciate your feedback, time and effort with this project." On Thursday, March 27th Apple pressed on with development of the the company's self-branded web-browser, privately seeding beta 69, and on April 4th, beta 71. A shinny new build of Safari (beta 72) is expected to be seeded to internal staff and testers later today, if it has not been posted already. The focus for the remainder of the Safari 1.0 beta program is to ameliorate the stability and performance of the browser for release as part of Apple's forthcoming update to Mac OS X. Beta 69 marked the appearance of one noticeably new function under the Safari application menu entitled "Reset Safari." "Resetting Safari erases your browsing history, empties the cache, clears the Downloads window, and removes cookies. It also removes any saved names and passwords or other AutoFill text and clears Google search entries," reads the confirmation window. The only other recognizable change to the build was an updated AutoFill button that lies in the button bar. Safari beta 71 marked no noticeable cosmetic alterations or feature additions, but does sport noticeable optimization improvements. For starters, the development team has compressed the browser 3.1 Megabytes in size with beta 71, recoiling the application from 14.2 MB down to 11.1. In distribution form, this leaves the browser just under a 4 MB download. More notably, however, Safari beta 71 marks the beginning of what Apple is calling Safari 1.0 Beta 2, in preparation for the second public seeding of Safari due out any day now.

Apple Seeds Safari Beta 67 On Thursday, March 13th, Apple seeded select developers with beta 67 of their self-branded web browser. According to sources, the latest version of Safari boast full integration of both tabbed browsing and forms AutoFill. In previous builds, Safari shipped with these capabilities, but developers could only access them from the Safari "Debug" menu which could be switched on or off via the command line. Full Browser View Screenshot! Cosmetically, the most notable change to the application, is the addition of an AutoFill button between the forward and refresh buttons in the main address bar. This button can be displayed or hidden via the browser\'s \'View\' menu. Additionally, French, German, Italian, Spanish and Japanese languages have seen the early stages of implementation with beta 67 of Safari. Consequently, if your default Mac OS X Language is one of these 3, Safari will crash at launch. The immediate solution is to delete the corresponding language project file from Safari\'s \'Resources\' directory. Apple will officially address the crash issue with the forthcoming build of Safari. Safari is due out this fall as part of the \'Panther\' (10.3) revolution to Mac OS X. More news on that in forthcoming publications. Kasper Jade 23 years ago 0
