Interesting piece on the new Safari JavaScript engine (SquirrelFish), and why it's faster than the old one.

Dave Hyatt announces the lastest addition to Safari's CSS: animations.
div {
opacity: 1;
-webkit-transition: opacity 1s linear;
}
div:hover {
opacity: 0;
}
Now this sounds great, but I have to agree with Shaun Inman and Jonathan Snook that these new properties blur the line between presentation and behaviour even more.
Behaviour and presentation have to be separated somewhere; there has to be some sort of line dividing the two. The problem is that on the CSS side of things there are plenty of people who want to slowly push back the line, integrating more and more functionalities that once were JavaScript-only into CSS (content, for one).
Now animations. Where will it stop? Presentation is presentation, and behaviour is behaviour.
Besides, didn't we decide that we should attempt to follow the W3C standards? For sure, "following" has acquired the secondary meaning "implementing declarations W3C is considering but hasn't yet made up its mind about", but just about all new CSS additions actually have some sort of basis in some sort of spec. Animation hasn't.
All in all I wonder whether this is a good idea.

Lots of CSS enhancements in Safari 3. Unfortunately Saf 3 Windows crashes when you scroll past one of the appearance tests.

A week ago I encountered some problems with Safari 3.0b Windows. The 3.0.2 version has solved most of these problems. My site looks normal on my desktop computer.
Kudos to the Safari team for their quick response.

John Gruber on Jobs' keynote.
It’s not widely publicized, but those integrated search bars in web browser toolbars are revenue generators. When you do a Google search from Safari’s toolbar, Google pays Apple a portion of the ad revenue from the resulting page. (Ever notice the “client=safari” string in the URL query?)
My somewhat-informed understanding is that Apple is currently generating about $2 million per month from Safari’s Google integration. That’s $25 million per year. If Safari for Windows is even moderately successful, it’s easy to see how that might grow to $100 million per year or more.
This was exactly the information I needed to understand the deeper whys of Safari Windows.

Official fix list. Rather longer than I thought. The unload event is not mentioned, but fixed nonetheless.

A reaction from the Safari team to my benchmark test of the same name. Although my conclusion seems not to have been correct, the test case allowed the Safari programmers to solve a bug in their getElementsByTagName implementation.
