Safari 4 once again says it needs a reboot. I really hate how much Apple insists on reboots. Oh look, an update for some camera that I don't use! Ignore the bouncing bubble at your peril! Install and reboot! Hey try our new browser, which we promise is way faster! Install and reboot! Right, reboot for a web browser. Sigh. Grumble.

Opened it, went to redsox.com, it crashed. I restarted it. I went to my igoogle page. crashed. I then uninstalled Safari for Windows. I agree there isn't much that would get me to stop using Firefox. It's by far my #1 browser. IE just scares me because it's so integrated into into the OS. I was talking to my brother about the reasoning behind Safari for Windoze and he brought up a good point. It's because of the iPhone. They want developers to develop 3rd party apps using the Safari engine for the iPhone and to help convince them to do this, they can say, "Hey, your app will also run on Mac and Windows desktops."
