Safari Cookies 1.1.3 (Mac OS X)
Crashes Safari in 32-bit mode under 10.6
I run Safari in 32-bit mode to get PithHelmet working, as well as a couple other plug-ins. When I added this, Safari continued to crash until I set it back to 64-bit mode. I'm using the very latest SIMBL, 0.9.7a. Anyone else experience this? [alert admin]

Apple Safari 3.0b (Mac OS X)
Ok, the usual great words about dragging tabs (finally!), nice Find implementation, speed increase, "Reopen All Windows From Last Session" is very welcome, new non-aqua form buttons much easier on the eyes, form fields look better.
Things broken: SIMBL plugins (SafariSource, PithHelmet), some [minor] Javascript on our website has stopped responding (doesn't work in FF either so meh).
Things that haven't changed: Still a memory hog, but hopefully lets go of RAM better than Safari 2 when windows/tabs are closed.
I'm just glad that some style sheet stuff has been fixed. Safari 2 didn't like the tag (not that anybody but us use it). Just hoping MoxieCode's TinyMCE (Javascript wysiwyg editor) will work better.
Cool geek stuff. When the Debug menu is enabled, context menus get a "Inspect Element" for looking at DOM stuff. Might not need the CSS Web Developer plugin in FireFox any longer...ok, probably will.

iScroll2 0.26 (Mac OS X)
According to the SourceForge page, here's what changed in 0.26:
Improvements for 0.26 are mainly in the settings daemon component. Settings are now reloaded whenever the driver is loaded; as a result, settings should now persist across sleep cycles.
I've never had noticeable issues across sleep cycles, but I'm glad to see development is continuing on such an indispensable driver. I'm lost without it!

EarthLink TotalAccess 2005 1.4 (Mac OS X)
The short: TotalAccess' ScamBlocker makes a local proxie on HTTP port 8090, which screws up Safari, iTunes, and probably any other Apple software that uses HTTP (Firefox continues to work).
The long:I have only used this tool to evaluate it for my boss, and therefore have only used it a couple of times intermittenly. I just updated from 1.3 to 1.4, but decided to remove TotalAccess from my system because it offered no advantages other than allowing me to quickly set phone numbers for travel. When I removed it from my system, I suddenly lost the ability to use Safari (FireFox and terminal still worked). I do not have a subscription to MacFixit so I set out to figure what happen on my own. Interestingly, when I reinstalled TA1.4, Safari started worked again, but ONLY when I had TotalAccess' ScamBlocker enabled. When I quite TA1.4, again Safari failed. Longer story short, ScamBlocker enables an http web proxie on port 8090 on the local machine. If you remove this product and cannot access the web, go to the Network System Preference pane, and make sure that under Proxies for each of your interfaces (it did it for Airport and Modem on the recently active Locations) that you clear out the Web Proxy (HTTP) check-box. If you set up any other recent locations with TotalAccess, make sure to check all Location's Proxies.
What a flipping nightmare! Earthlink makes NO mention of this in their uninstall directions.

You still have your sense of humor, so count that as a big plus. Best of luck to you in your travels through life.

Still does not allow for starting the Mac with the option key. If you do so, the mouse acts like it is dead and you have to use a wired version or a much earlier Logitech mouse to have any movement
I don't understand what the Option key has to do with the mouse not working, but on a lot of cross-platform keyboards (meant to work with Windows too), the Option/Windows and Command/Alt keys are…

Ok, not entirely trying to defend Logitech because their drivers in the past have just blown chunks, but the newest LCC 2.1 does allow you to configure on per application basis now.

> (I'd love a side by side of an 1998 Dell running WinXP SP2, I'd wager it'd be so slow as to be nearly useless) I just installed Linux (Ubunto 5.04) on a Dell Solo 5100, which is circa 1998, and it ain't pretty - usable but slow. I can't even imagine what XP would do. I think the machine would probably just puke out the install CD and run away. 150 MHz Pentium!

Since I can't leave well enough alone, I had to poke it with a stick one more time (hey, I LIKE bee stings!). Anyway, now that I've manually forced the http proxie off, now ScamBlocker properly unsets the local proxie if I turn ScamBlocker off. So, this is obviously an intermittent issue. The "fix" is there for anyone who might have screwed with things like I did, and can't get TA to fix itself.
