CSS Animation: Falling Leaves, Bouncing Box, Pulse

3D with Canvas: JS Cloth, Miku, Touch (via Kawanet and Ajaxian)

Presentations: Sample slideshow (use right/left arrows to advance)

Safari 4 Hidden Preferences - how to move the tabs back to the bottom, restore the blue loading bar, turn off URL autocompletion, Google Suggest and more.

Download link:

Thoughts and reactions!

Really? I use both but have always found Safari quicker and firefox so much more customisable.

Safari 4 is supposed to run javascript 4 times quicker too!

So far its seems awesome.

Try out the Acid Test http://acid3.acidtests.org/ on both and it show which is faster and Java rendering.

For anyone who isn't sure what Acid3 is - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid3

Its the next Apple operating system, basically no new features (well only a few) and it totally focuses on speed.

pacificvibes · 02-24-2009, 06:32 PM

Damn, I am still in shock at how fast this is...
