After reading this article, High Tech India: A Minefield of Challenges, I realized something. I read weird. Maybe it’s not so weird, but I do it pretty often. When I come across an article of some kind I’ll scan the first paragraph or so. If it looks interesting I’ll read the whole thing straight through. If I’m not interested enough to read all of it I’ll skip down to the bottom and read the conclusion. Then, if that’s more interesting I’ll read the previous paragraph, then maybe the next, etc.
Here’s how I read the Yahoo! article (which is a little bit different from what I just described):
As you can see, I didn’t finish reading it. I quickly scanned the remaining paragraphs, but nothing really caught my eye enough to entice me to read more.
Do you ever do this? I’m guessing it’s more common than I think, meaning I’m not that weird after all.

First off, I’m surprised that Apple released Safari for Windows. Second, I think it’s pretty cool that they did it, mainly because people like me who need to test websites in a bunch of different browsers can now do that a lot easier. It does, however, seem a bit pointless because really, Firefox is way cooler. But I’m always open to more competition in the market. Competition means that people will create even cooler software.
I still think the OS X gray theme is really really ugly. I hate how iTunes looks and I hate how Safari looks. I’m glad that Safari isn’t a freaking 30+ MB downoad like iTunes is. Safari is 8 MB, which is completely fine. I bet they could get it down further if they’d take out all their crazy OS X theme stuff. Oh well, I guess that’s part of the Apple experience.
As far as functionality goes, I haven’t used it too much yet, but I like how it works. Web pages look good and load quickly.
Way to go Apple. I’m not gonna switch to Safari, but from my first impressions of it I’d rather use it than IE or Opera.
