What I like about Safari

Yes , people finally safari browser is available for windows and it is damn fast and the UI is very good.I tested it out when it was in beta stages but it crashed a few times (probably because of my low virtual memory). Now in its latest supposedly 3.1 release it is awesome.

You can download it here : Download Safari

So the pluses are:-
==>Great UI
==>Great Speed
==>Good Spell and grammar checker
==>The pages look much better in it as the font-faces are pleasant.


Wait there is something more:Only for Geeks though:-

Go to Edit Menu==>Advanced Tab==>Check the check box named "show Develop Menu" and viola it is a web developers dream come true.

Cool FX,Pitch feature in Jet Audio

Just was listening to some songs in Jet Audio when i discovered the cool FX and Pitch features were damn good.You could listen to songs sung by female artists and also see how they would appear if they are sung by male artist by decreasing the pitch.Some songs sounded much better if the pitches were varied.

Also the Fx features is quite good.Infact many songs sounded cool with added effects.
