Toshiba Looks Back, Forward, Gets Dizzy,

Toshiba held a bit of event
in Australia and talked about their coming line-up including the
Hershey's-Kiss-sized Libretto U10 and the Qosmio U20. They also talked
about their sales numbers: 11K sold in 1985, 7 million in 2005. You've
come a long way, baby!
Generally, I like Toshiba's work. Compared to other well-known
Japanese brands—er, brand—a lot of the Toshiba notebooks
have a nicer suite of software and some very interesting features. The
original Qosmio pissed me off because I had to carry it home once to
review it and it weighed about 500 pounds but hopefully these newer
versions will be lighter. Or then you can get the U10 and hide it
under your hat.

ranked by relevance. It uses the "V-Twin" fast-search technology found
in Mac OS X v10.3 "Panther" to return matches and includes a built-in
browser that renders search results in a window when you click on
them. You can perform simple searches, as well as sophisticated
Boolean or include/exclude searches, and a hot key summons the search
window when you need it. Pricing is US$19.95. HistoryHound requires
Mac OS X v.10.3 "Panther" or higher. It currently supports Safari, but

releases."

Full Keyboard Access in Safari 1.2
Full Keyboard Access in Safari 1.2
02/10/2004 02:51 AMSafari 1.2 finally adds
support for full keyboard navigation, which allows to Option-Tab (by
default) between links and tab between all form elements. You might
notice, however, that unless you have "Full keyboard access" turned
on, the latter of the two doesn't work as expected.
To enable tab navigation of
all form elements in Safari 1.2,
you'll need to open System Preferences and click on the Keyboard &
Mouse icon. Then, in the Keyboard Shortcuts tab, check the "Full
keyboard access" checkbox. After doing this, you'll be able to use
your keyboard to truly navigate all form fields (which includes
checkboxes, menus, et al).
You should note, however, that turning this option on enables keyboard
access system-wide, which might be something you're not used to. Full
keyboard access will allow you to tab between OS X interface objects
(like buttons and such), and might alter your behaviour slightly.
It might be nice if in the future Safari had the keyboard access
feature on its own without having to enable it system-wide, but in the
meantime it's still a great feature.

Safari 1.0
Safari 1.0

Safari 1.3
Safari 1.3
04/16/2005 01:24 AMThose of you running Panther can now update to 10.3.9. This update
includes Safari 1.3 and new versions of WebKit, WebCore, and
JavaScriptCore that contain thousands of improvements we've made to
the engine since Safari 1.2.
What you are getting is all of the new standards support, new
WebKit capabilites, site compatibility fixes and performance
optimizations that are also present in Safari 2.0 for Tiger. The
layout engines for the two are virtually identical.
Here are some of the highlights:
Page Load Performance
Safari 1.3 loads pages overall 35% faster than 1.2 as measured by
IBench. In addition to improving the overall page load, Safari 1.3
will display content sooner than 1.2 did, so that subresources don't
hold up the initial display of the page.
JavaScript Performance
We have substantially improved the performance of the JavaScript
engine in Safari. I encourage you to check out Safari 1.3 on this
benchmark for example to see the improvement relative to 1.2.
HTML Editing
Safari 1.3 supports HTML editing, both at the Objective-C WebKit API
level and using contenteditable and designMode in a Web
page. The new Mail app in Tiger uses WebKit for message composition.
You can write apps that make use of WebKit's editing technology and
deploy them on Panther and Tiger.
Compatibility and Security
Compatibility and security are our number one priority in WebCore, and
Safari 1.3 has many important compatibility fixes. For example,
percentage heights on blocks, tables and cells now work much better in
Safari 1.3. min/max-width/height support has been added. More of the
table-related CSS properties are now supported. DOM methods like
getComputedStyle are now supported.
The DOM Exposed
The entire level 2 DOM has been exposed a public API in Objective-C.
This means various holes have been filled in Safari's DOM level 2
support. In addition to exposing the DOM to Objective-C, the JS
objects that wrap DOM objects can also be accessed from Objective-C,
allowing you to examine and edit the JS objects themselves to inject
properties onto them that can then be accessed from your Web page.
XSLT
Safari 1.3 on Panther now supports XSLT. 10.3.9 includes libxslt, and
Safari uses this excellent library to handle XSLT processing
instructions it encounters in Web pages.
Plugin Extensions
For those of you writing WebKit apps, a new Objective-C WebKit plugin
API is supported that lets you put Cocoa widgetry into the Web page
more easily. In addition enhancements to the Netscape Plugin API
(made in conjunction with Mozilla Foundation) have been implemented
for plugins that require cross-browser compatibility.
Did I mention it's really really fast? :)
In case you're curious about differences between the Tiger and
Panther versions of the engine, they mostly have to deal with
frameworks that changed underneath WebKit. For example we have new
faster image decoders on Tiger (that also handle PNGs correctly), so
you'll find that Tiger fixes some of the PNG gamma issues that will
still exist on Panther. In addition the new decoders are incredibly
fast and are now run on a separate thread on multi-processor machines
on Tiger.
The network layer has also been improved on Tiger, so this may be
another source of differences in behavior between the two operating
systems. Overall, however, it's likely that content and applications
you develop with WebKit will behave identically on the two operating
systems.
Let us know what you think.
