“Everybody’s surfing now, come on a safari with me…”<\/em><\/p>\n

Whatever happened to the Beach Boys? Come on, help me Rhonda. Maybe \t\t\tthey’re in my room. Or maybe they’re looking for EB – Haha! EB the \t\t\tlittle surfer girl. She’s mighty fine in her four-oh-nine. I’m \t\t\tgetting ill on the Sloop John B. I get seasick – I need a vacation \t\t\tin Kokomo.<\/p>\n

Moving right along…<\/p>\n

You all know about Internet Explorer (Microsoft), Firefox (Mozilla) and \t\tChrome (Google). But how many of you know about Safari by Apple? If you \t\thave a Mac or an iPad or an iPhone or an iPad touch you probably are \t\tusing Safari without realizing it. Safari is a pretty slick, \t\tfull-featured browser that compares favorably with other top browsers – \t\tand it has two features – we really like – that none of the others have \t\t(by default): “Reading List” and “Reader”.<\/p>\n

As Apple aptly describes them:<\/p>\n

“Whenever you come across something interesting on the web, save it \t\tto Reading List. Then when you have more time to read articles, watch \t\tvideos, or shop, your link-filled Reading List is ready and waiting. You \t\tcan browse through the entire list or see just your unread pages.”<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/p>\n

“And Safari Reader lets you see it all in a clean, uncluttered space \t\tfree from blinking, annoying ads.”
\n<\/em>
\nI’ll be the first to admit I was never big on running Apple software on \t\ta PC. QuickTime is awful. iTunes has its problems on PC. But Safari \t\tworks great – at least as well as Microsoft’s Internet Explorer. How \t\tmany Apple users do you think pine for Internet Explorer? Close your \t\teyes. What do you see? Nothing. No one.<\/p>\n

Apple Safari is available free for Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows \t\t7 (32 and 64bit). It’s a great browser – and it may be just the \t\talternative you have been looking for. You don’t have to uninstall any \t\tof your other browsers. You don’t have to make Safari your default \t\tbrowser. You can keep using your current browser as long as you want – \t\tand run Safari from time to time to test it – give it a workout. If you \t\tdecide to make it your default browser, it’s easy to do. If not, just \t\tfire it up from your Start Menu or shortcut(s) any time you want to use \t\tit.<\/p>\n

I suppose we should let Apple take a bite out of this article – they \t\twant a piece of this pie:<\/p>\n

“Browsing doesn\u2019t begin to describe it.
\nSafari isn\u2019t just the world\u2019s most innovative web browser. It changes \t\tthe way you interact with the web. With great new features that take \t\tadvantage of OS X Lion, you\u2019ll become completely immersed in everything \t\tyou see, touch, read, and watch. Oh, and browse….”<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/p>\n

“…Next-Generation Standards Support.
\nSafari continues to lead the way, implementing the latest innovative web \t\tstandards and enabling next-generation Internet experiences. With \t\tsupport for HTML5 media tags, CSS animation, and CSS effects, web \t\tdesigners can create rich, interactive web applications using natively \t\tsupported web standards. A standards-compliant browser, Safari renders \t\tcurrent and future web applications as they were meant to be seen…”<\/em><\/p>\n

Well Apple does like to toot their own horn – that’s why so many people \t\tlike Apples. Remember Adam and Eve? Remember Eve took that bite of apple \t\t– and now we all need to work and struggle and wear clothes and all \t\tthat? But that has nothing to do with Apple Safari or Apple computers or \t\tApple Records. I just didn’t want you getting bored.<\/p>\n

Anyway… Safari is a great browser with some really unique features. \t\tAnd you add to its features with numerous available free Extensions. Be \t\tsure you try the “Eve” extension…just kidding.<\/p>\n

(above) Apple “Reader” in action. All annoying ads and distractions have \t\tbeen removed from this “New York Times” article – so all you get is what \t\tyou want. The article. And pretty please folks, don’t take anything away \t\tfrom that article – it doesn’t reflect our liberalism or conservatism – \t\twe just clicked on the article to show how Reader works. It may as well \t\thave been an article on how to dye artichokes. Honest! We meant nothing \t\tpolitical by it!<\/p>\n
