			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- wp-jquery-lightbox, a WordPress plugin by ulfben --> <p><a title="Apple" href="http://www.thesharath.com/tag/apple" target="_blank">Apple</a> has released a new version of its  Internet browser Safari. The browser boosts performance up by <strong>30%</strong> compared to its older version, thanks to the <strong>JavaScript engine &#8211; Nitro</strong>. This new version has an improved the browser cache  management system in place to restore websites more quickly.</p>
<p><a rel="lightbox" href="http://thesharath.com/wp-img/apple_safari.png"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1174" title="apple safari" src="http://thesharath.com/wp-img/apple_safari.png" alt="" width="307" height="307" /></a></p>
<p>Apple also introduced the <strong>Safari Reader,</strong> an option to remove  a webpage from any external content, to make it more readable. A button labeled &#8220;Reader&#8221; is available on the right side of the  address bar.  This new &#8220;reader&#8221; feature can be used to extract the contents of the article and automatically  hide the contextual ads and related links. The font, spacing and layouts are optimized to improve the reading on screen.</p>
<p>Safari has <strong>a  dozen new <a href="http://thesharath.com/tag/html-5">HTML5</a> features,</strong> including geo-location <acronym title="Application Programming Interface">API,</acronym> including drag  and drop native EventSource, WebSocket, Ruby and <acronym title="Asynchronous JavaScript and XML">AJAX</acronym> History.</p>
<p>The biggest news is <strong>the arrival of extensions</strong> that  developers can write in HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript. &#8220;Create buttons for  the toolbar or their own bar. Change the display of web content. Add  controls to Web pages&#8221;.</p>
<p>The browser now includes Bing as a search engine along with Yahoo and Google. The browser is  available for Mac OSX 10.5  Leopard and after and for Windows (XP SP2, Vista and Windows 7).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- wp-jquery-lightbox, a WordPress plugin by ulfben --> <p>Latest rumor about the products <a title="Apple" href="http://thesharath.com/tag/apple" target="_blank">Apple</a> is that, <strong>Mobile Me could become free</strong> for every one to use!</p>
<p>The information comes to us directly from <a href="http://www.macdailynews.com/index.php/weblog/comments/rumor_apple_to_make_mobileme_free/" target="_blank">MacDailyNews</a> who claims to have received information saying <strong>&#8220;Apple intends  to make Mobile Me Free&#8221;</strong></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://thesharath.com/wp-img/mobile-me.jpg" rel="lightbox[1096]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1097" title="mobile-me" src="http://thesharath.com/wp-img/mobile-me.jpg" alt="mobile me" width="346" height="257" /></a><br />
</strong></p>
<p>Not much information was disclosed of this free offer.. Besides, this is a rumor and there is <span style="text-decoration: underline;">no current evidence that this is true</span>!</p>
<p>However, such an offer from Apple could be beneficial for its users, at the same time this free offer (if its true) would also HIT some of the Social address book&#8217;s pretty hard.</p>
<p>Mobile Me service is mainly used by Mac users who sync their iPhones with the Apple computer and trust me it is really  a powerful tool&#8230; Stay tuned for more updates!</p>

<p>Not very long ago, I wrote about some <a href="http://thesharath.com/2009/09/snow-leopard-whats-new/">new features</a> the <a href="http://thesharath.com/tag/snow-leopard/">Snow leopard</a> has and now its time for the &#8216;Must have applications&#8217; for your new Snow  leopard. Here are Five must have applications for the snow leopard which you could use to make life more easier.</p>
<p><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/79/213744007_a62501c378.jpg" alt="mac osx snow leopard" /></p>
<p>- <a href="http://growl.info/extras.php" target="_blank"> <strong>Hardware Growler</strong></a>: nice visual notifications of HW events (e.g,  connect/disconnet USB devices, insert a CD/DVD in the drive, when  switching from battery to power, when connecting to networks, Bluetooth  events etc).. Download  grow, open the extra folder and drag HardwareGrowler to the apps  folder. Then double-click on it and set it up to start automatically at  every login.</p>
<p>- <a href="http://homepage.mac.com/fahrenba/programs/dockless/dockless.html" target="_blank"><strong>Dockless</strong></a>: very nice app that prevents the apps you choose to show up in  the dock even if they are running (very useful for GenericCPUPMControl,  HardwareGrowler etc).. Download dockless and drag it to the apps  folder, start it and uncheck the apps that you don&#8217;t want to be shown  in the dock. Quit dockless and reboot.</p>
<p>- <a href="http://download.cnet.com/Right-Zoom/3000-18487_4-10909444.html" target="_blank"><strong>RightZoom</strong></a>: maximize the windows to fit the full screen by clicking on the green button. Download the app then double-click on it and set it up to start automatically at every login.</p>
<p>-  <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1455" target="_blank"><strong>TinyMenu firefox extension</strong></a>: This groups all the firefox top menu bar items  in just one, to avoid the menus and to hide the notification icons  placed on the top right corner of the menu bar</p>
<p>- <a href="http://www.yousoftware.com/tunes/" target="_blank"><strong>You Control Tunes</strong></a>: iTunes controls directly from the menu bar..</p>
<p>Also, a make sure you to make a backup before upgrading to <a href="http://thesharath.com/tag/snow-leopard/">Snow leopard</a>. Check the <a href="http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/start" target="_blank">application compatibility list</a> to see which apps will and will not work with Snow Leopard.…</p>
