NO WAY

I heard this from someone who was shadowing at a school, who was quizzing me about my mac expertise. Got everyone right, except for one which I doubted. I never really play with the AppleScript editor, but I was pretty sure that it was some professional stuff. I had played with it for the "say" command, but pretty much nothing other than that. So here's the question:

Q:What does the script editor say when you enter more than 100 random characters and run it?
My A: I never play with it. But I'm guessing Error (_). The code entered was too long to properly script.
His A: Actually, it says Way too long, dude!

Ya right. It's professional stuff. Doubt that. You have to be lying.

Well, I was bored so I just decided to try for myself. And look what happened.

Yup, it says Way too long, dude!
I can't believe this!
Well, there you have it.
Don't believe me?
Try it for yourself!

Safari 4 and the Acid 3 Test



The Acid 3 test is a javascript rendering test. And as you can see by the above screenshot, Safari 4 is the Only web browser to ever pass the Acid 3 test. Don't believe me? Check out these screenshots that I took myself.

To pass the test, a browser must use its default settings, the animation has to be smooth, the score has to end on 100/100, and the final page has to look exactly, pixel for pixel in full color with the blocks.

Now for the testing. People say that Firefox is the best and fastest web browser. Well, page-loading wise, NO. Safari is way faster than Firefox, and that's why I use it. But when it comes to JavaScript tests like the Acid 3, Safari is the winner by a long shot, even just by looking at the end results.
Firefox end result

Remember, I made all of these screenshots myself.
Safari 4 end result

Yups. Safari 4 is definitely what I would call Da Bomb.

Apple Shrine

I recently transformed one of my bookshelves into an apple shrine. Check it out.








Magic iLife?

Well, out of the blue I was switched to iLife '09. I bought my MacBook in 2008, hence it came with iLife '08. But after the free upgrade to Mac OS 10.5.7, I magically have iLife '09, and it's not a trial version (I don't think). It has absolutely no "register iPhoto '09" or anything like that. No "you have 35 days left until your trial ends", none of the stuff that says this is a trial version. I have had it for over a month, but I think the trial might last for 60 days, so by June 25th we will have the exact answer. Sadly, my iWork '08 didn't update. I'll live. I hear one of my friends has a teacher that is extremely happy with iLife and iWork '06. Well, let's just say I'm a ittle more recent then that.
