68.61% Bounce Rate

I’m not sure I really like that, but it certainly is better than 100% (That’s what I was getting a few weeks back over a couple short posts I made - very random stuff).

I’ve also noticed that 17% of my traffic from searches is coming from the keyword Chantix. Not bad at all.

Too bad I’m not on the payroll for Pfizer.

So today Apple released a new beta: Safari for XP/Vista.

If you’re not aware (or a Mac person), Safari is the default browser loaded on OSX Mac computers.

So I had to ask myself two questions:

1. How fast could I get my hands on the beta
2. Why does Apple feel the need to load Safari on Windows PCs?
3. Would anyone really care about my review of Safari for PC?

Well, I only have an answer for #1 and lots of speculation on #2. #3 will have to wait until tomorrow (at least) as I’m just now getting into the beta (which means the answer to #1 was ‘right damn now’).

So far, no real complaints. I like having my form fields and submit buttons styled the way I scripted them (the default Safari/Apple styling leaves little to be desired). Beyond that, I haven’t seen any errors, any problems, and no real reason to use Safari over Firefox. From the Apple Web site, the comparison is obviously pushed towards IE V Safari, but anyone in their right mind would have already ditched IE for Firefox for daily browsing anyway - so why Safari? Of course, I’ll be testing with Safari just to see how my internal projects function, but I highly doubt my employer will support the browser.

I’ve found my rage, I just haven’t figured out what to do with it yet - haven’t figured out how to focus it yet.
