Dappled Grey’s “Top Sites” as displayed by Safari 4
Things are definitely buzzing a little faster here at Dappled Grey after Sunday’s purchase of a brand new 13″ MacBook Pro! The arrival of the MBP coincides with the retirement of my beloved 12″ PowerBook G4, a proven legend in the Apple laptop bloodlines. Rest assured, in this Mac-loving household, the PowerBook will receive a retirement ceremony fit for a Triple Crown champion and be turned out to greener pastures to live out the rest of its days unperturbed by the restless demands of a sport horse blogger.
I could rave endlessly about the improvements imparted by my recent technological upgrade. The backlit keyboard, the battery life, the port system, the display, and the processing speed are all essential improvements. Add to all of this the installation of the Safari 4 web browser, just released out of beta on June 8. I cannot begin to address the browser’s features as well as CNET does here, but suffice it to say that I am in complete concurrence with Apple’s marketing pitch for Safari 4: “Browsing made beautiful. And smart.”
One of my favorite features of Safari 4 is Top Sites, an at-a-glance display page of screen shots of your top visited websites. Your Top Sites will either automatically change as Safari tracks and ranks the websites you visit, or you can pre-set your “top” sites to be displayed. Safari 4 even indicates on the screen shot display page when one of your top sites has been updated with new content.
For a blogger who likes to consume all the latest sport horse news content along with my morning cup of coffee each day, Safari 4 makes my research much easier and more efficient! It also puts all the “tools of the trade” for social media right at my fingertips. Thanks Apple!
