Apple closes Safari test program Due to leaks of Safari v67, CNET reports Apple has cancelled the browser's developer test program. On Saturday, members of Apple's Software Seeding beta, or test, program for Safari received an e-mail from Apple informing them of the decision: "Due to Safari 67 postings to the Internet, we have closed the Safari Seed project. We know that the majority of you are not responsible for the leaks to the Internet, and we sincerely appreciate your feedback, time and effort with this project." More.

Wireless hits the 'hot spot' SunSpot.net reports on Apple's AirPort, and the backdrop Wi-Fi revolution. "As long as the Mac remains within the 300-foot range of the base station, which itself can be plugged into an Internet connection, that Mac can connect to printers or other Macs on the network as well as surf the Net. The very same technology exists for Windows users, and its use is spreading rapidly. As more and more people experience the freedom of wireless computing with a laptop, they're finding they don't want to live without it." More.

Recommendation for the Xserve NetworkComputing.com highly recommends the Xserve ub a recent report. "You should consider the Xserve if your company supports a small complement of Macintoshes, or if you're a small office that needs a centralized file server and/or departmental server. Compatibilitywise, the Xserve is comparable to Intel and Sun boxes--except it's easier to use. The simple procedure for applying patches and updates to the Apple's OSX 10.2 is refreshing." More.
