Before using Mac my favorite browser in Windows was Firefox ( not that i hate IE , because of Firefox addons features basically i love Firefox) . But when i moved to Apple Mac my favorite browser is Safari though it doesn’t have Addon’s flexibility as compared to Firefox . In Firefox world viewing the saved passwords is really easy . You just need to go to Firefox preferences in Mac ( and tools> options in Windows ) then to Security tab and click on the “Saved Passwords” then “Show Passwords” . Getting the forgotten passwords was , and still is , this easy in Firefox . I keep forgetting my usernames and passwords i use in different sites and personally i used this feature of Firefox many times. Quite sometimes i have also revealed my friends’ saved passwords , like a prank , in their Firefox browser . It is quite fun if your friends are not much aware of these stuffs.

This was weird and surprising to me . Below are different results of my tries . It seems that whatever the number of size you give as visible items Safari will always show 4 itmes .

Today i noticed that Microsoft’s Hotmail also doesn’t support Apple’s Mac OS X latest browser -Safari . Though Hotmail loads fine and inbox can be viewed without any problem . But as soon as I go to the dropdown link option at the top right corner and choose “link other accounts” i got the error that the browser is not supported . Below is the proof. Is this because of Safari is not supporting Microsoft silverlight . This is the only clue i get . I dont know what other can be the issue with safari to show that error.
That’s 95 MBs, pre-checked by default, bundled into a security patch and ready to be downloaded without asking the User.
Now everyone knows and its clear that Apple’s MobileMe ( www.me.com ) is a fail . Since the release of MobileMe there were many issues . Even Steve Jobs has admitted that MobileMe was not upto the Apple’s Standard in a mail sent to Apple employees. In its initial days i wanted to have look at what MobileMe actually has so i signed up keeping my Credit Card at risk. Well there is a free trial period to use MobileMe services but at cost of keeping your credit card number to Apple’s Database. Continue reading »
