i downloaded the beta a few months back but no plug ins worked so i went back to safari 2 that day. well when i went to 10.4.11 i got safari 3 automagically placed in my apps folder instead of safari 2. So here are my thoughts
1. acidsearch wouldnt load. i had to reinstall it. now it has contextual menu items too, bonus!!!!2. contextual menu items in safari have changed. now you can “inspect element” which brings up a box almost useless to anyone but a  web design guy, so ya know i like it!!!3. its faster. on cached pages especially! way faster then!4. surfrabbit and saft still work, whew.5. it seems you can now bookmark all tabs open in one window. first time i think i have seen that. bonus!!6. the debug menu changed a bit ,open page with is now at the  top where it should be  yahoo baby!7. saft or safari added a few cool things to the history menu, open last closed window and open all window from last session i think it was saft or surfrabbit. `~~KM 

Open toast and click copy and select Disk image in the side panel.

Click Select… and find the BIN file and open it.

Back in the Toast window, click Mount… (should be right next to Select…)

You should have a Disk on your desktop titled similiar to your files.

Open the disk and find a folder called MPEGAV and open it.

Drag the .dat file out onto your desktop or HD and wait for it to copy.

Change the extension from .dat to .mpg which should make it viewable mpeg in Mplayer or Quicktime.

Go back into Toast and unmount your image (button used to Mount…)

Click Video up top and select DVD Video in the advanced pane.

Drop your newly aquired mpeg into the window, insert a DVD and click burn.

Set your burn prefs in the drop window and click record.

Burning .Bin & .Cue on DVD - how???

and it works

Microsoft Australia technical specialist John Hodgson said that the basic Live Drive was likely to include around 2 gigabytes of storage for free

okay, so dot mac is now almost a universal joke. And if MIcro$oft offers an “iDisk” for free instead of for $99 per year, I think the towel will be officially thrown in on dot mac.

Vista doesn’t need to include (copy) any features
of Mac OS X Leopard. What Vista needs to do is match or exceed the way
Mac OS X implements its features.

From a technical point of view, Window’s System Restore feature is
actually superior to Mac OS X’s Time Machine, since System Restore can
work on a single hard disk, while Time Machine requires a second hard
disk. The big difference is the way Microsoft and Apple implemented
this same feature.

Under Windows, you click through a series of dialog boxes,
radio
buttons and calendars to find a restore point to return to. Not
visually exciting or intuitive, but practical and efficient. Under Time
Machine, you can see a series of your previous window contents
extending off into the distance, and click or search for the window you
want to restore from the past.

From a technical point of view, Window’s System Restore is
superior but from a user’s point of view, Mac OS X’s Time Machine is
far superior. Given the choice between using a great program with a
mediocre interface (Windows System Restore) or a mediocre program with
a dazzling interface (Time Machine), guess which one is going to
generate the most excitement?

Apple isn’t necessarily great at innovating, but they are far
superior when it comes to implementing their ideas in ways that the
average user can understand immediately, and that’s where the Mac OS X
shines over anything Microsoft Windows could ever offer.

The best way for Vista to compete with Mac OS X? Have
Microsoft dump Vista, and license Mac OS X to run on ordinary PCs.
Otherwise, given Mac OS X and a copy of Parallels with Windows running
in a virtual machine, Vista has no chance to compete, no matter what
features it might add.

Book.”

You heard it here first,  apple will soon release a talking ipod. Yea baby.

A new generation of machines will use sophisticated software to convert the names of bands, albums and individual tracks into recognisable speech.

The new iPod will tell you what it is about to play, removing the need for users to look at the screen while selecting music, and making the device safer and easier to use while driving, cycling or in badly-lit locations.

well hopefully the gestures using ipod widescreen will also debut or it will be part of the talking iPod. Stories can be found here and here.
