“Security enhancements that will protect users of Apple Computer’s forthcoming Safari 3.0 Web browser from malicious websites have already begun to appear in the latest builds of the company’s next-generation Leopard operating system,” AppleInsider reports.
AppleInsider reports, “According to published reports, the ‘anti-phishing’ features, first described by AppleInsider last week, are accessible to developers testing the latest pre-release distribution of Leopard, build 9A283.
AppleInsider reports, “Through interaction with Google’s AntiTrust database, Safari 3.0 is able to automatically detecting ‘phishy'” or deceitful website URLs. It then notifies the user via a dialog box, webpage overlay, or a combination of the two. ‘This webpage is fraudulent. You should close it immediately,’ reads a dialog box that pops up in pre-release builds of the browser. ‘Google has identified this webpage as fraudulent. Do not enter any personal information on this page.'”

Still brushed metal I see.
As always – Apple is on the job doing what they can to preserve their historically world famous end user experience.
There’s a picture of the new iCal on TUAW. It’s got the Unified interface. I bet that with all these ‘leaks’, they’ll make sure that they keep certain apps’ interfaces under wraps until they show it off next year (eg. Finder, Safari, etc.)
I’m most excited about the new Finder previews. I hope this means a new Finder rewritten from the ground up. The speed of Finder has always been the bane of new Mac users existence.
Microsoft released this in IE 7.0 last week…
“Microsoft released this in IE 7.0 last week…”
So what, IE sucks massive amounts of bovine feces. Always has, always will.
Yeah… I have to say that I like firefox better, but IE 7 does have this feature, so I guess it’s time for us all to run around screaming like mac fanatics that [beleaguered] Microsuck or whatever preschool names you all have now is being copied by divine Apple.
Am I the only one who thinks Safari sucks in comparison to Firefox on Mac OS X. Why does Apple bother updating such a poor product with tiny market share?
