Apple announced its version of Safari browser for Windows, thus reducing the burden on developers to make cross-browser compliant websites.
This comes as a boon for me and my team as we can now test our applications on Safari without leaving our desk 
Yeah… you read that right. :)
I had heard that the next major version of Firefox – The Gran Paradiso will support offline applications. Though it still is in aplha mode, Google has already started to embrace this feature in their recent release of Google Gears which, as per Google is an open source browser extension that enables web applications to provide offline functionality using following JavaScript APIs:
Google Gears will enable you to read the most recent messages from Gmail while offline or to edit your documents in Google Docs even without a network connection.
Google Reader is the first Google application powered by Gears. To enter the offline mode, just click on the small arrow and all the recent feed items are downloaded to your computer. You can disconnect from the Internet or click on “work offline” in your browser and you will still be able to read your favorite feeds in Google Reader. Like in any feed reader installed on your computer. Well, almost, because Google Reader doesn’t download images or other multimedia files embedded in the posts.
Talk of offline support for web applications in browers? It’s right here!!!
It seems like Adobe Systems has finally started the process of merging (dissolving) the brand Macromedia.
I happen to visit the site today and whas surprised by the small but notable change in their header!
