Apple’s decision to release a PC version of iTunes was shrewd. Its decision to release Safari on Windows is a gamble. It is going to attempt to build on its brand loyalty, but has it exposed its carefully contrived brand to criticism? Pompous Mac users love to trot out the ‘we don’t get viruses’ line, but now Safari is on a PC, this shield of invincibility is about to be tarnished. Granted, the difference in OS plus the fact that Safari can’t ‘get a virus’ but any doubt over security could have the ability to transcend platforms and cast shadows over Apple’s previously untarnished OS. but in less than 24 hours the windows version of Safari had bugs and security flaws “popping up like hotcakes”. A hasty 3.01 update was posted for download within days, and now we’re on 3.0.2!

We’re taking some time off and we’re going to be tinkering with the site in the interim to try and improve it, including a platform upgrade. Many thanks to everyone who has submitted an article, snippit etc… Please keep them coming, it is what fuels the site. Unfortunately I cannot answer to each one individually, but I do try to - so apologies if I haven’t got back to you.
Have a great christmas and new year, and we’ll see you back here on January
