I love the fact that Apple is all about design. They are always on top of their game when it comes to adding "designer-friendly" features to their browser Safari.

Check out this article at Apple Insider: Apple's Safari 3.1 to support downloadable web fonts, more

Web font support is cool I guess... but having HTML5's SQL Storage API built into the browser is wicked sweet! And bringing Javascript functionality to the browser natively??!!! Freaking awesome. I can't wait for a few years down the road when we can do away with all Javascript, and just code for the browsers... natively.

But, oh... wait. IE still exists :( If only this were a Safari world...

Anyway, the new Safari will support more CSS goodness like Transforms & Animations... Safari is so cool.

Peace,
Drew

I tried it on Windows but It didn't work too fast. I'll be getting a Mac Book Pro soon though. I'll look forward to that.

The thing is, what about viruses in the downloadable fonts? And the copyright issue? I mean there's a lot to be discussed here.

Paul,

No way! If you have a chance you should take a quick snap with your camera/cellphone and send it to me. I am curious to see how the Ad turned out in print.
Thanks again Paul!

Peace,
Drew

Yes, Safari 3 is a nice upgrade from v2. I'm finding myself using it over FireFox now. IE8 will be on the way out next and it's promising to hold up to some needed web standards... we'll see. However, there will always be those IE6 users out there - they never seem to fade away.

Oh, and I just saw your AD in the SXSW Interactive Guide Book today. Nice work.
