The browser requirement page on the company's Web site lists several compatible browsers for the beta of Gmail, but Safari is still not among them. All of that will change before Gmail is available to the public, according to Google co-founder Sergey Brin.

Google has added support for Safari to its new email service, Gmail. However, I?ve found the ?support? to be a bit flaky, with constant refreshing required simply to get to the login page. Don?t worry though, because until Google fixes these little problems, Gmail still works fantastically well in Firefox.

"Literally millions of people use a big chunk of Safari on Windows. It's the browser built into iTunes. It works today," John Allsopp writes for The Sydney Morning Herald. "So arguably the quickest, most standards compliant browser around, which by the way is based on the open source KHTML rendering engine, is available right now on Windows. And to use iTunes, you need to use it. Apple contributes to the KHTML project, so many of its innovations will find their way into that browser. On the Mac, Windows and UNIX variants."

El Gato has released EyeT V 1.5, an update of its video recording software that unifies support for all of the company's digital video recorders, some of which have shipped with different versions of the earlier application. In addition, EyeTV 1.5 brings in support for TitanTV's remote programming feature, which allows you to schedule recordings from any computer with Internet access and for Apple's Safari Web browser. It also features various bug fixes and performance enhancements, including automatic 16:9 aspect ratio detection and control over overscan and de-interlacing options. The upgrade is a free download and requires Mac OS X v10.2.8 (v10.3.4 recommended) and a G3 with a built-in USB port if you're using EyeTV USB, or a G4 with a 500MHz processor if you're using any of El Gato's other devices.

Will Gmail support International
Languages? 06/19/2004 04:53 PM

My wife has a Hotmail account that is defaulted to Japanese. She got tired of Outlook acting weird and sometimes not converting the incoming message correctly or when she would send a e-mail and the receiver getting junk characters.

So I set her up a Hotmail account and she now has no issues getting or sending Japanese e-mail. Well I was able to score her a Gmail account last week and after we got it setup we went looking for language options. From everything we could see volunteers had already done the language translation as a volunteer page said it as 100% done. But there was no way to turn on Japanese as the default language. It appears they will have a international language option but for now it is only English if anyone has figured out how to change the default language we would appreciate a e-mail to shokoc at gmail.com

Her first reaction to Gmail and she is not a techie is that it is a lot faster than Hotmail and will be switching as soon as they enable International characters.

support our troops -- send them your
GMail invites! 06/18/2004 12:15 AM
I keep reading about how morale is very low in Iraq and Afghanistan, and how men and women in both theaters are having their tours extended long beyond when they expected to come home. Thankfully, many of our soldiers are able to stay in touch with friends and family via the Internet . . . which brings me to the point of this post.

WWdN reader Drew sent me the following note earlier today:

I will send you an invitation for the hard to get Gmail if you post something on your site telling others to give their invites to troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. See, Google gives 1 gig of email space, perfect for movies and pictures from home, but it's invite only. When you get an account you will get invites too, and if you could pass them along to those who need em that would rule.

I think this is a fantastic idea, and an easy, but very powerful way for many of us to help support our troops. GMail gives users 1 GIG of free storage space, which is more than enough for pictures, movies, sound files . . . all sorts of things that could help our servicemen and women feel a little closer to home.

The thing about GMail is that it's currently invite-only, so I e-mailed Drew back, and asked him if he had some sort of clearinghouse set up for soldiers to submit requests for invites. He responded:

No, but about 10 of us are trolling www.gmailswap.com looking for folks in the military. See, once you talk to one of them, they pass an email along to fellows stationed with them, so we're just trying to dole them out as we get the request.

There's no way to know how long Gmail will be invite only, but SGT Tim Knowles in Afghanistan said that good morale is hard to come by out there and in Iraq, and the guys are buzzing about the possibilities of 1 gig. They all seem to have hotmail and well it's weak.

I'm going to look into getting a site together or at least a list.

Of course, there are epic assholes online who will pose as soldiers so they can get invites, but I think it's completely worth the risk.

So here is your challenge, WWdN readers: go forth, and seek out soldiers who could use GMail invites. Help spread the word about this effort, and keep checking back here for a link to the soon-to-be-built clearinghouse for requests. If you're a designer, and you would like to donate some time, or a host who would like to donate some space and / or bandwidth, send me an e-mail and I'll pass it along to Drew. If you're a reporter, maybe you'd like to do a story about a bunch of nerds who are working to do something cool to support our troops. If you're a Google employee, maybe you'd like to come up with a way to ensure that members of the armed services can get GMail acocunts, no matter what. If you're a fellow blogger, you can link this post, or the clearinghouse website when it goes live.

And of course, if you're a GMail account-holder, you can use those invites that are piling up (I've sent out six in the last week) to do something really cool for some people who are making an incredible sacrifice right now.

Spoofing Flaw Haunts IE, Firefox, Safari 06/22/2005 02:18 AM
A newly discovered flaw in all the major Web browsers could allow Internet scammers to successfully launch phishing attacks, according to a warning from security research outfit Secunia Inc. The vulnerability, confirmed on fully patched versions of Microsoft Corp.'s dominant Internet Explorer browser, can be exploited by malicious hackers to trick surfers into disclosing confidential information, including credit card and social security numbers.

"The problem is that JavaScript dialog boxes do not display or include their origin, which allows a new window to open a prompt dialog box, which appears to be from a trusted site," Secunia said in a public advisory. "Successful exploitation normally requires that a user is tricked into opening a link from a malicious Web site to a trusted Web site," the company added.

Anti-Gmail Bill Now Allows Gmail

Anti-Gmail Bill Now Allows Gmail 05/26/2004 01:35 PM
Last month there was a lot of talk about the somewhat clueless move by a California politician to create a law that would ban Google's Gmail offering, despite the fact that it was completely optional to use. It appears that enough people (probably including those at Google itself) sat down with State Senator Liz Figueroa to explain how email works, and have convinced her to tone down the bill so that it now allows Gmail. That's right, the anti-Gmail bill now has loopholes that specifically allow Gmail. In other words, Senator Figueroa seems to have realized just how pointless the bill was in the first place and is trying to save face by adjusting it so that it still seems to have a purpose: banning a bunch of things that no one was doing, like having humans read the content of your emails to put in advertising.

It is the name of the RSS/Atom feature in Safari itself. If you pull down the About information in Safari on Tiger, you'll see that the version is 2.0.

XUL in Safari

XUL in Safari 10/29/2003 12:12 AM

Safari 1.1 is included with the new release of Mac OS X, Panther. From Dave Hyatt's list of Safari 1.1 features:

A complete implementation of the XUL box model. Safari on Panther supports the complete XUL box model, including horizontal and vertical boxes, the ability to flex, and the ability to reorder content and reverse content. If you're building canned content that you control using WebKit, you'll find a whole new range of layout possibilities at your disposal. Need to create dynamically sized headers and footers and flexible center content? The XUL box model can do that. Need to center an object within the viewport? The XUL box model can do that too.

With Microsoft's alternative to XUL seemingly a few years away, are Apple looking to beat them to it with an implementation that's compatible with Mozilla?
