Bambi Interviews Microsoft Hack About Safari 4

Somewhat off topic but still about Safari 4…  Maybe no one else has noticed, but I, with my aging eyes, have.  I have set one of my two mouse scroll wheels to zoom in when on Safari.  Before, only text would enlarge/shrink.  Now the whole page does, and everything retains it ratio/alignment..  This is great news to me.  Before, when I wanted everything to be larger (and not just text), I would have to click in the Finder (so the focus wasn’t on Safari) and them do a zoom.  Now, I no longer have to.  Will the other browsers do this?  So far, I’m impressed.  Again, what were Thurrott’s reasons for Safari not being “a good option” or not being “uniquely suitable?”

Great article, there’s so much crap out there now it’s a pleasure to see some of it challenged, dissected, and exposed for what it is- somebody’s soiled underwear!

This is the Mac360 that first drew me in as the day’s Reality Check!

Funny.

“as I understand it, once was charged with hand washing Steve Ballmer’s underwear after his burrito eating binges of the 1990s”

That explains what he uses to think with instead of a brain.

Well done. If you don’t have a coherent argument to back up your premise, insult instead. It works. How McCarthyesque of Thurrott to put style over substance, fear over facts.

Windows supporters need support hose. Then, take the hose and beat Thurrott severely about the head and shoulders.

Paul, you have to come in now and take your medicine, change your diaper, and take a nap.

Is this the best Windows apologists can do? Is it any wonder that their market share is slipping rapidly and their customers hate their products?

Without raking the guy over the coals, Bambi, you’ve managed to point out what may not have been obvious to his readers—he cannot think, he cannot write, but he knows how to insult enough people to get attention.

He must be a Republican trying to get into congress.

The guy is a hit whore, a flake, and representative of mainstream media’s attempt to gain page hits by diluting intelligent analysis. Ms. Brannan, you nailed the culprit a new one. He never even tried to use Safari. By insulting Mac users he gets more hits which means more advertisements. Opinion without substantiation is just noise.

What would you expect from Microsoft’s hounds?

I don’t know what planet Thurrott is from, but reading his poppycock says more about Windows users than Mac users. I’ve tried Safari 4 on my PC and my Mac, and it kicks butt—much faster than Firefox or Internet Explorer. Thurrott’s lack of any specificity at all indicates that he didn’t even try it out for more than a minute or two—just enough time to create some great nasty quotes.
