Safari 5’s Reader feature

In Safari 5, this button will give you a reader and printer friendly view of a web page.

I think the controversy about Safari 5’s Reader from publishers is misplaced. The Reader feature gives you a easier-to-read version of an article with a click of a button. It’s also a preview of the printer friendly version. You can only use Reader after the page and ads finish loading.

Apple, Adobe, Flash, HTML5, audio, video

The whole feud between Apple and Adobe over Flash and HTML5 and development for mobile devices is like watching a couple you are friends with go though a break-up. It’s sad and you hope you won’t be asked to choose sides. This break-up has been long and drawn out. Yet I don’t see either  “winning” this fight. They both have tools that most designers are not going to do without. They are just making each other look bad.
