Technology News: Reviews: Safari 4 Is More Than a Speed-Loader

: “Sure, Safari 4 is fast, but that may not be the most striking feature for the average user. The way it displays pages in Top Sites and Cover Flow, especially for history scanning, is what reviewer Chris Maxcer found most useful. The new tab position took a little getting used to, but the added screen space was appreciated. Firefox users who love their plug-ins, though, won’t find the same level of customization.”

Fix: Safari 4 Crash on Start Issues | Blog on a Stick

: “Are you uber excited for the new Safari 4 beta from Apple? However, on install all it does is bounce and crash? I’ve been having the issue under 10.5.6 and the fix is simple; remove your Safari addons!

Step 1 – Uninstall Safari 4 beta and revert back to Safari 3. If you still have Safari 3, then you’re good to go.

Note: You don’t have to reinstall Safari 3, it should just come back when you uninstall Safari 4 beta.

Step 2 – Go to Safari -> Preferences and look for any addons like…

* SafariStand
* Saft
* Glims
* Any Others

Step 3 – Go to the official site for any addons and see if there is an update or if there are any compatibility issues with Safari 4. Or just uninstall the addon.

Step 4 – Install Safari 4 beta.”

NOTE: Upgrading simply Glims made the fix for me.

Create an iPhoto-like folder view in the Finder: “To create an iPhoto-like size-adjustable icon view of a folder, just put '' (with nothing inside the quotes) in the search box in a Finder window. Set it to the folder of interest, and to search by name, and choose icon view.

Now you can see a view with the zoom scroller on the bottom right. Very useful to see images or videos on folders.

[robg adds: This is a variation on this older hint, which used a smart folder to display a narrow range of results with the slider; this method just opens it up to all files within a folder. Alternatively, as noted in the original hint, you could just opt to leave the View Options window open instead, as it contains a slider for icon size (as well as grid spacing).]

Syncing without Thinking – Now available in Version 2.0 of The Missing Sync for BlackBerry

Now BlackBerry and Mac users can ditch those pesky cables and sync wirelessly via Bluetooth. Even better, Proximity Sync technology from Mark/Space uses the same Bluetooth capabilities to give users the option to automatically sync whenever the Mac and BlackBerry are near one another.

For example, a photo taken on the BlackBerry will automatically sync to iPhoto on the Mac, and a new contact entered on the BlackBerry will automatically sync to Address Book the next time the two devices are near one another.

Syncing without thinking has arrived. Remembering to sync is a thing of the past because Proximity Sync does it automatically, every time.

The Missing Sync for BlackBerry, version 2.0, offers even more new and cool features including playlist and album art support for iTunes, sync for other media files and video transfer to and from the BlackBerry. Plus, users can archive text messages and call histories to their Mac where they can do more with them like using the call log to track time for billing purposes and the SMS log to transfer information like phone numbers into Address Book. And Version 2.0 includes all of the benefits that BlackBerry users already rely on in version 1.0.

Version 2.0 is available now. Upgrades from 1.0 are available too.

Learn more about The Missing Sync for BlackBerry, version 2.0.

Favicon Generator Imports and Edits Icons for Your Site [Image Editing]: “

If you’re looking for a quick way to create a favicon—the tiny little logo that appears in bookmarks and address bars—for your web site, Favicon Generator offers dead simple image importing, editing, and conversion.

Favicon Generator is a web-based service that converts GIFs, JPEGs, and PNG files into 16×16 pixel ICO files suitable for use as web site favicons. Why the special ICO format? Although most modern web browsers are perfectly capable of loading favicons in PNG and other formats, Internet Explorer is a bit behind the times and still requires ICO format. In addition to converting existing files into ICO format, you can also create a favicon from scratch with the editing tool. Unfortunately you can’t load converted images, as with previously reviewed Favicon.cc, but Favicon Generator still has a lot of convenience to recommend it. If you have another site or tool you use for editing icons, favicons or otherwise, share the wealth in the comments below.
