Apple, iPhone, iPod and the stock market

Volitility

That's a term that is used for the stock market during turbulent times. Yesterday the market bombed. I fortunately have some Apple stock and it did well. Actually, it was just making a come back from the day before when Apple stock tumbled. There were reports out that Apple didn't sell as many iPhones as projected in the first weekend. That cause the stock to drop. But then the very next day Apple reported record revenues for the quarter. The stock went up more than a whopping $6.00 a share.

Safari has new web developer tools

Safari has included the webkit tools that the Webkit Open Source Organization has been working on. It looks very nice, but still not quite as powerful as the web tools available to Firefox. You can't actually edit the css on the page through the tool, but you can get a nice look at what styles are being appled to what elements. You right click on elements and say inspect element. The Web Inspector opens to that element. It has four tabs - Node, Style, Metrics and Properties. Using the tabs you can see how the browser is rendering the elements.

Safari find feature

I stumbled across the very cool find feature in Safari 3.0. If you haven't tried it yet, try navigating to a page, then do a command-F (on mac, cntrl on pc). A find navigation bar will appear at the top of your page. Type in the word you are looking for on the page. The screen grays out and the found words highlight as you type. The first found word on the page is highlighted in orange. if you click the next or back buttons in the find navigation bar the next or previous word will highlight in orange. This is a really nice touch of the user interface.
