Whether you took Mozzy's stance that Apple quietly slipping Safari into its Software Update for Windows users "bordered on malware" or just didn't give a shit, looks like you'll have to admit it worked like gangbusters: Net Applications reports that it tripled Safari's marketshare in only a month.

Safari 3.1.1 Update Has Bug, Security Fixes
Apple just rolled out the Safari 3.1.1 bugfix and security update. As far as we can see, it still asks Windows users to install Safari even if they don't already have Safari installed. Update: We just tried this again, just to be sure, on a completely virgin computer with neither iTunes or Safari installed. More »Latest iPhone Firmware Saves Pictures from Safari
At last! The latest beta version of Apple's iPhone 1.2.0 firmware gives you the possibility of saving pictures straight from Safari and into the Photo Album. We tried and it works: just hold your finger against an image for a longer time than usual and the popup dialog will appear. The applications are many, like saving friends' Facebook images, save loads of NSFW pics in Flickr, set iPhone backgrounds using those (or snatch our exclusive iPhone backgrounds), and perhaps the most obvious one: online porn collecting for offline porn watching.

BGR is claiming iPhone firmware 2.0 will provide a YouTube plugin for MobileSafari.app. They aren't citing their source, but they're pretty confident in their assertion: More »Mozilla CEO: Apple Auto-Installing Safari 3.1 "Borders on Malware"
We reported yesterday that Apple was pushing Windows Safari 3.1 through Software Update, even if you didn't already have it installed. We thought it was a little odd, but we weren't pissed. Mozilla's CEO, on the other hand, well, check out this snip from this blog (which is currently kee-rashed):Apple has made it incredibly easy—the default, even—for users to install ride along software that they didn't ask for, and maybe didn't want. This is wrong, and borders on malware distribution practices.More »
Apple Really Wants Windows Users to Get Safari
If you pop open Apple Software Update in Windows, you'll see a fresh item in there today: Safari 3.1. Even if you don't already have it installed. This is the first time they've used Software Update to push Safari on Windows users that didn't already have it. What's up with the new, more aggressive thrust? [TUAW]

Firefox Passes 500 Million Downloads, Celebrates With a Lot of Rice
Firefox has just hit 500 million downloads worldwide; it is an impressive statistic and we think everyone who works on the project should get a pat on the back. As if their contribution in creating a kick-ass browser was not enough to the world, the Mozilla team is celebrating by raising funds for 500 million grains of rice, which they will give away to poverty stricken nations.

Apple TV Web Browser Safari HD Rechristened "Couch Surfer"
That awesome little native web browser for Apple TV, Safari HD, is no more. It emerges from the crucible of Apple Legal as Couch Surfer—as we like to say, more original, more better. [Apple TV Hacks]

Web Browse on Apple TV With Safari HD, Out Now
If you have a burning desire to surf the internets on your TV with Apple TV and its crappy little remote, Safari HD has you covered. It's actually a native Apple TV browser coded with the WebKit rendering engine, and it supports Flash plus anything else Safari can handle. After downloading the installer, you've gotta open an SSH connection and do a minor bit of command mojo, but it's easy enough for even the nubbiest noob. And TV net browsing is pretty nubby.

Mobile Firefox Might Make Safari Feel a Little Touchy
Remember that mobile Firefox announcement from a couple of months ago? Turns out, there's two flavors in the works: a regular version for vanilla cellphones, and one that's for touchscreen smartphones like the iPhone. The goal is be functionally consistent with Firefox 3, though Compiler thinks it looks "remarkably similar" to mobile Safari. But could Firefox be better than Safari? Would you switch?

The Software: The "January Software Upgrade" for the iPod touch, including Mail, Google Maps, Weather, Stocks and Notes. Mind you, this is not to be confused with the totally free 1.1.3 system upgrade, which brings the player up to date on iTunes 7.6 for rentals, etc., but has no apps of its own.
The Price: $19.99 plus tax (so for me, $21.46)
The Verdict: Worth it. More »

High Schooler Gets Detention for Using Firefox? UPDATE: Nope
Now this is a sad story...if it's true. According to this alleged school report, one student received a detention for using Firefox—as opposed to IE or Safari, we assume. And while there could be plenty of explanations for why the school would want to control student browsers, we loved the teacher's write-up of the event: More »

Ian Turner is a zookeeper at Longleat Safari Park. He is also rather forgetful. After taking some pictures of his meerkats for a new zoo brochure, he left his Canon EOS in their enclosure. Apparently the alpha male, Monty, secretly harbors a gadget obsession, and jumped at the chance to snap a few shots of his family for posterity. Have a look at his sub-par photos below.

Some Nokia Able to Run iPhone Safari Webapps
The Nokia N95 and N75, among a few other Symbian 60 phones, use a Safari-based browser, and it appears that some apps built for the iPhone work on it. I don't know if this is cool or rare, but the Nokia nerds sure think so. [ifono]
