Safari 3.0.1 Beta relased with security fixes

You know how Apple users all get kind of smug about how they don't have nearly as many security issues as Windows users? Well, Apple either wanted to demonstrate how much that has to do with your operating system or just made a complete gaffe. Because when the company released the Safari web browser for Windows earlier this week, it only took a few hours for users to find several major security flaws.Today Apple released Safari 3.0.1 beta, with the following security fixes:
- Fixed a flaw that executed arbitrary code when visiting a malicious website
- Fixed a flaw that led to unexpected termination of an application when visiting a malicious website
- Fixed a flaw that allowed cross-site scripting when visiting a malicious website

With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.
They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...

Cool. Now if they could fix these annoyances:
1) When window is on 2nd monitor, Maximizing it causes Safari to disappear!
2) Ctrl-Enter in address bar doesn't add ".com" suffix to domain name

Does Safari still not fill the entire screen when maximized (causing frustrations when trying to close the window by clicking on the most upper-right pixel)? I'm still hesitant about installing Safari on my main machine. I'd like to try it out, but I think I'll have to pass until it's out of beta, which at least in Apple's case here won't take a year or two... ;)

I haven't had the same trouble as Mysterius with maximize not matching screen bounds, but 3.0.1 didn't fix the bug where you maximize the window, then minimize to task bar then restore to unmaximized window (instead of appropriately maximized window). Also still can't customize the button bar. (both issues on a Vista Home Premium PC)
The built-in textarea resizing is almost worth the price of admission though. Please, FF, Opera, IE copy this feature!
