Safari 4.0.4 Released, Update Now
Safari's New update for Mac OS 10.5.x and Mac OS 10.6.x has been released. Those users who are using these Operating Systems can update their browser right now. While you should have been notified about these updates already but if that is not the case then try checking your Safari browser for update or search for Software updates in your Mac PC. As for now the words are that this update has improved stability for third party plug-ins.
Safari Updates are directly delivered to Apple Mac OS X operating system users by the company itself as soon as they are out every time. Catch is that checking the Safari homepage on the Apple website won't be helping you in updating your old browser. Because you can get downloads when you open the support website of Apple but you will clearly see the last update dating back to May 2012. No newer version or update there.
Safari 5.1.7 is available there for download for Windows and Snow Leopard users but no newer versions are available for download. Mac users are benefitted from the automatic update feature because every time Apple updates their Safari browser or any other software the company notifies its Mac OS users. So they can use automatic update feature to install these updates to their current device.
But those users who are using Safari along with Windows Operating System are really in a weird situation. Neither they get automatic updates nor do they find newer version to download. It may be the death of Safari for Windows users unless they wish to release a new version of Safari for windows users in future. If you are one of the windows users who loves safari then it may be the bad news for you.
The main reason behind Apple showing cold shoulder to windows users is the failure of Safari among them. Safari is the least favorite browser of Windows users, thanks to Smooth Interface, Fast Working, Reliability, Ease of Access and everything else of Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome. Windows users are not very diehard fans of Safari. Most of the least popular browsers like Opera and Maxthon are more smooth and easy to use for windows users when compared to safari.
Those who have an Apple iPhone or iPad and a windows PC are sometimes forced to use safari. Because they can synchronize their iPhone’s bookmarks abd browsing history on their PC. They will have to use older browser. Or install Firefox or Chrome on their iPhone. These browsers also work fine with Mac OS and iPhone like other devices.
Rest in Peace Safari for Windows!!!!

"Native Mobile Apps Vs HTML5 Mobile Apps" Which one should you go for?
Amidst this fierce competition, there’s still one important aspect separating different businesses in the segment: knowing which platform to be used for developing mobile applications. Here today we aim to provide you better guidelines for developing mobile applications within your organization by comparing the two most serious contenders for mobile apps development platform, i.e. HTML5 and native application development platform.
Let’s have a look at what’s best for your organization and in which technology should you invest in order to maximize the Return on Investment (ROI), customer outreach and the worth of your developed application.
Native applications are developed only for a single mobile-based OS such as Android or the Apple iOS, and are distributed using proprietary app stores.
Quite the reverse, Web-based mobile applications written in HTML5 exist online. Such apps can be easily downloaded and used for mobiles or tablets based on almost any operating system.
Current market trends highlight a strong inclination towards the use of native apps as they are, still, the favorite among consumers across the globe. HTML5 seems to be losing its way against native apps; however, you must not underestimate the value of mobile apps developed in HTML5. In clear terms, HTML5 is lost but not dead.
Here’re some of the key points that help native apps stand apart from the competition:
Native apps:
- have taken over the bulk of mobile usage
- can ensure maximum revenue generation for the developers
- can be used in places having no network connectivity, example in airplanes
- provide customized, convenient and consistent user experience
- offer easy integration with mobile devices to support applications like camera and GPS
- can be easily synchronized with backend data sources to reduce data costs, specially while roaming
- provide Push Capability for receiving automatic application updates
- offer interactive GUI that allows you to do more with your app
In HTML5 mobile apps:
- users have to log on to the web to update the applications
- developers miss that monetization power provided by Google and Apple app stores
- users do not have a central store or location to download apps
- revenue is generated mainly through advertisement which is not very profitable
- apps have limited access and compatibility with different mobile platforms
HTML5 apps also do have a handful of benefits such as comparatively easier, widely-known programming language and simpler interface as compared to native apps, though these advantages are far too less to make a match of it. And then, against the general feelings of HTML5 lovers who comment that this downfall in mobile Web apps is merely a small-time bump, it seems like the road ahead is not very rosy for HTML5 mobile apps.
However, native apps also face a few hurdles like their development is time consuming, they have to deal with the licensing processes of Google or Apple app stores, they can be developed only for a specific mobile platform, etc. Still, the modern-day consumer is highly fascinated by these apps and the developers get high revenue streams.
To sum it up, native mobile apps are going to go places and you would do well to follow them.
