Been in contact with the locale police, but they had no record or whatso ever about a person by the name Krister Aga. I will press charges against him this friday. Will keep you posted!

Purchased a new MacBook Pro 17″ from a guy who needed the money instead of a brand new notebook. Never been opened, and I got it about 45% cheaper then the stock price from Apple Store.

Specs:

  • 2.5GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
  • 2GB memory
  • 250GB hard drive
  • Double-layer SuperDrive
  • NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT with 512MB
  • 1680 x 1050 pixels

I really hope this can be a real improvement from my getting-to-old desktop computer.

During last years WWDC, Apple announced Safari for Windows. It was released as version 3.0 beta, and has after gone through some minor fixes, etc. Yesterday, Apple shipped the Safari 3.1 update, and I got notified through the Apple Software Update application Apple has started to ship with all its Windows-products. I accepted, and I am writing this from Safari 3.1. So far it is stable, and fast. But the term “tabbed browser” is abit overused. Do to the fact that you can’t force links to be opened as a tab in the current window, instead of opening them as a new windows. That is abit old IE6-ish.

If you are a Microsoft Windows user, and want to test-drive Safari 3.1, click here. Please report back with your experience.
