SUCH an embarrassment of riches. Apple Macintosh users have two new web browsers to choose from. It&#39;s a curious market. All Macs come with two free browsers: Microsoft&#39;s Internet Explorer 5.2, and Apple&#39;s own slick and elegant Safari.

Although the Firefox Web browser gave up some market share last month, according to Net Applications, the opposite was true for Apple's Safari. It continued to gain ground, as did Mac OS X.

(InfoWorld) - Third-party software developers can create Web 2.0 applications to run on Apple's forthcoming iPhone, company CEO Steve Jobs said Monday. [ For the latest from the show, readÂ Tom Yager's Enterprise Mac blog. ] Jobs told an enthusiastic audience at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference 2007 in San Francisco that developers could write applications that work and look like iPhone applications from Apple, including those for making calls, sending e-mail, and other functions. The iPhone, a combination cell phone, Web browser, and video and music player, goes on sale June 29. Developers will be able to create applications for the iPhone by using Web 2.0 programming toolsÂ such asÂ AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) and taking advantage of the full version of Apple's Safari Web browser incorporated into the devices. A separate, special software developer kit is not needed, Jobs said. The software development announcement was the last item in a 90-minute keynote address devoted mostly to the new OS X version 10.5 operating system, code-named Leopard and scheduled for release in October. Jobs highlighted 10 of what he said were 300 new features for Leopard, an upgrade from the present Tiger OS. Leopard will sell for $129. Also, Apple's updated Web browser, Safari 3.0, will be available to run on Windows Vista and Windows XP, Jobs said. Apple is releasing a public beta of Safari 3 for Mac OS X and Windows Monday, said Jobs. Jobs said the company took a cue from its experience enabling the iTunes Web music and video store to run on Windows. Safari has only 5 percent of the market for Web browsers, compared to 78 percent for Windows and 15 percent for the Firefox browser. Jobs said running on Windows could increase Safari's market share. Some in the audience of an estimated 5,000 literally oohed and ahhed as Jobs demonstrated new features of Leopard, including a feature called Stacks. In order to reduce clutter on computer desktops, Stacks can hide application icons behind the main icons on the application dock at the bottom of the screen. Click one of those icons, and others behind it shoot up toward the top of the screen in a stack. Leopard will also run 32- and 64-bit applications side by side, Jobs said. He also demonstrated a new Leopard feature called Core Flow in which images of files flip quickly across the screen from side to side, allowing users to find the image they want, click it, and see that file open up full screen. "This is an amazing way to find things, and it's incredibly useful," Jobs said. Apple said in April that it would delay Leopard's launch until October because it was devoting time and energy to bringing the iPhone to market. Apple is gaining attention because of TV commercials featuring a character called "Mac" and another called "PC." In a video prior to Jobs' keynote, John Hodgman, the comedian who plays the dim-witted Windows PC user in the commercials, appeared onscreen wearing Jobs' trademark black turtleneck and blue jeans, trying to pass himself off as Jobs. "I'm quitting," he declared, saying that he was closing down Apple because the Windows Vista OS was just too popular. "They have sold tens of ... dozens of copies," Hodgman said.

(InfoWorld) - Apple Inc. Friday issued security updates to patch four vulnerabilities in Mac OS X and the Safari beta, marking the second time in eight days that the company has had to fix its newest browser, which runs on both Mac and Windows XP and Vista machines. The 2007-006 update for Mac OS X 10.3, "Panther" and 10.4 "Tiger," fixes a pair of problems in Safari -- the production-quality versions bundled with the operating system -- including a memory corruption vulnerability that could end with an attacker in control of the Mac. "Visiting a maliciously crafted Web page may lead to an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution," Apple said in its alert. The second bug, and to Apple, the less serious of the two, is a cross-site scripting flaw (XSS) in Safari that could be used by phishing sites to steal usernames and passwords. Apple Friday also updated the Safari beta, first released June 11, to version 3.0.2 for both Mac and Windows. Mac Safari 3.0.2 patches another XSS bug, while the Windows edition fixes that, plus a separate vulnerability that could let an attacker disguise the browser's address bar, perhaps as part of a spoofed site meant to trick users into divulging confidential information, such as bank account passwords. For Mac users, 2007-006 and the Safari update are mutually exclusive. If a Mac user has installed Safari Beta 3, only the Safari update will be offered; users who haven't bothered to try out the beta will see only the standard Mac OS X update. Windows users can update Safari to 3.0.2 by downloading the new version from Apple's site, or by running the optional Apple Software Update utility. The just-patched Safari bugs were credited to a team at Adobe Systems Inc., as well as to researchers at Westnet, an Australian Internet service provider, and Westpoint Ltd., a U.K.-based security company. None were accredited to Dave Maynor, one of several researchers who dug up vulnerabilities within a few hours of Safari 3.0's launch last week. Maynor, who said he had found half-a-dozen bugs straight away, refuses to disclose his findings to Apple, part of a year-long feud that goes back to a wireless hack demo Maynor and another researcher gave at last August's Black Hat security conference. "Due to the cries of 'it doesn't count, it's beta,' we are waiting to release any further information till the browser is released in a final state," Maynor said in an e-mail earlier this week.
