security vulnerability in
Apple's Safari browser on
Windows only hours after the

Raff tested the
application against a standard
browser security testing tool.

exploitable. Although I'll
have to dig more to be sure of
that,"

12.06.2007How to check your Hotmail in Safari (3 or) 4
Like a lot of other issues with Hotmail and non-IE browsers, you just need to change the User Agent string to fool Hotmail into thinking it is dealing
with a browser it knows about. In Safari, this is pretty easy to do. As far as we can tell, however, Safari doesnt remember the User Agent settings
from session to session, so you would need to reset the User Agent for each new session that you want to check your Hotmail account.

23.06.2007Apple keen to push Safari 3.1 on Windows users.
If you run iTunes or QuickTime or any Apple software on your Windows PC, but not Safari, you might have seen an uninvited guest show up in the Apple
Software Update earlier this week. Yes, Apple thinks you need yet another browser. They tried to slip the new Safari 3.1 in for iTunes owners, a move
that has some Windows users up in arms.
The program is usually used for updating Apple software, and so getting new software with the deal
wasn't something a lot of users expected. And users who don't do anything but the default, are basically going to be getting software they
didn't plan to have.
