for those geeks who haven't noticed yet...

...There's a new web browser on the block.

[ok, link frenzy!]

Apple announced a new browser named Safari yesterday. It's based on the same engine as Konquerer, so it's fairly standards-compliant. Mark Pilgrim is doing a fair job of documenting issues; Codebitch wasted no time checking its CSS abilities, and Safari programmer Dave Hyatt demonstrates how good developers react to this kind of thing.

So, combined with the news that Chimera is doing very nicely, it looks like Mac OS X has a real browser war on its hands.

sounds interesting

William Gibson, talking about how he manages to keep committing Trilogy:

The next book I planned, [after Neuromancer], would have been, believe it or not, a species of space opera.

Gibson doing Spaceships & Rayguns? I'd read it.
