When I first look at this page, Apple MacBook Air, I was like "What the F..." It looks incredibly thin, unbelievable. Got to go back to check it out more. later.
Weird Apple HTML

Today, I encountered a weird page in Apple (Japan) website. There was "hi" right above the primary link buttons. It was so funny to me, and started wondering what caused this. I checked the page source and there was "hi" before the Document Type Declaration. I noticed this is not likely to be anybody's intention. So, I captured the screenshot to share this with other people. I think this is just a small mistake that all people can laugh about, even including the people who are in the web team. As writing this post, I began to think nobody would't care about this. I think I'm just enjoying myself, finding a tiny mistake made by a big guy, and saying it to the world "I found it!" What would you say?
Shiira Web Browser

Since there are so many choices, I wonder which browser is your primary one if you use MacOSX. I think the top two goes Safari and Mozilla based browsers. However, there is another good free web browser which is probably not talked much yet.
I tried the web browser, Shiira today. I think it's pretty good. Shiira is built with WebKit and the rendering is just like Safari but comes with tons of awesome features!
- Sidebar
- Sidebar looks like the mailbox drawer in Mail.app with 5 tabs, which are Bookmarks, History, Download, Page holder, and RSS. This is simply better than opening small windows like most other browsers do.
- Bookmarks
- The browser imports bookmarks from Firefox and Safari on its launch. You don't need to do a thing to synchronize with your existing bookmarks on your computer.
- Tab Exposé
- This is just like Exposé introduced in MacOSX 10.3, enables to display all windows in full screen without overlapping them, but this one works for all tabs in Shiira, with simply hitting F8 key.
- RSS
- I was missing this one in my Safari since I still use MaxOSX 10.3. I am only able to use Safari1.3, which dosen't integrate with RSS feeds. I wish I could able to upgrade to Safari2. Shiira works with RSS just like Safari2 does. Wow!
I believe this application is developed by mostly in Japan, but It's well documented in English for introduction so just go ahead to visit Shiira Project | Shiira 1.2 Screenshot
Also, the website looks gorgeous with beautiful graphics, few html errors, and neatly done with CSS. Only a few questions for the website is why it is written in XHTML1.1 without XML declaration and text/html MIME type? Anyway, the website is definitely worth to take a look if you are a graphic person even though you are not interested in getting a new web browser.
