This should be interesting:

Google Public Policy Blog. I’d like them to clarify, as a matter of public policy, what permissions they are seeking, if any, related to published books and more about their position on scanning in printed works, in or out of copyright.

Safari for Windows

June 11, 2007 by Michael Boyle

Safari for Windows

has been announced and the Safari 3 Public Beta is now available for Windows and Mac. Is this really interesting for anything other than the fact that AJAX through Safari is the iPhone API? Is Safari for Windows anything more than the Windows Dev environment for iPhone developers?

Update: Since getting home I’ve been playing around with Safari 3 on my Macbook, and it’s freaking FAST. Quite impressive. And it doesn’t seem to croak when faced with Flash anymore.

News from the big boys:

News from the big boys:

Google has bought Feedburner for $100M, according to Michael Arrington at TechCrunch. This deal has been rumoured for a while, but apparently now it’s a done deal.

I’m a Feedburner user, but frankly I have no real opinion about this news. I don’t think Google can change a lot about the terms of service – I doubt they could block feed-ads from other services, for example – so the move will likely go mostly unnoticed by users except for the superior integration we’ll see with Google’s other services for web publishers. Time will tell…

Daring Fireball:

Daring Fireball:

Enjackass. John Gruber nails the post-mortem on Engadget’s erroneous report about delays for both iPhone and Leopard. The short version: Engadget was wrong to have posted anything, because the supposed “internal email” referred to a published press release that should have been trivial to find and against which to fact-check.
