Safari browser to come to Windows?

Who knows. Right now it is only a hunch, a rumor, an idea up in the stratosphere. Interestingly enough, it might end up as part of Apple's strategy to infiltrate the golden kingdom of Microsoft. Safari coming to Windows would be a good move on Apple's part, and it would be great for users who like Safari and wish it was available for Windows. Will it ever happen? Oddly this idea comes to us via Mary Jo Foley, via the Mozilla wiki. Why would Mozilla even hint at this if they didn't have some sort of idea what might happen. I suppose all speculation and rumors are basically what could happen, but there has to be some ring of truth to them to at least become possibilities. This move for Apple certainly worked for iTunes and many other products that they are using to try to take over some of Microsoft's customers. So, why not? Safari on Windows just has a nice ring to it. Check out the whole deal over at Mary Jo Foley's blog and note the poll on the subject at the bottom of the page. What do you think about Safari on Windows? Good idea, bad idea?

Allchin is confident they're still on track for Vista's January 2007 launch, but the delay will undoubtedly push back the launch to corporate customers, which Microsoft has said will be before the end of the year. ZDNet's Mary Jo Foley, who interviewed Allchin, has placed her wager on an early November RTM and a November 30 business launch.

Graveyard Shift - zombie-busting Time Waster

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 ...
