Google Docs seems to work in Safari now!!
Not perfectly, I can't get it to select any text, but the keyboard pops up so you can add text, styling and everything seems to work perfectly!
Just small issues that you cant select text, and the keyboard jumps up and down quite often, but it works!!

I have gone from my iPhone 3G with iOS 2.x, to 3.x, to 4.x beta, to 4.x release then switched the device to a iPhone 4 and continued with the same backup going to 4.0.1, 4.1betas, 4.1 final, 4.2b1, 4.2b2 and all of this without ever losing the settings.
I updated every time (or used the backup when it was needed after a restore) and the thing still runs perfectly...
Just fyi 😉

The iPad is a winner with real multitasking. Now it's just a decision between waiting for the Retina Display and Facetime, or buy now because I really don't care about either, or waiting to a new one comes out and scoop up a refurbished or used one for a steep discount.
Same thing (3.5 seconds), 100GB+ library, 2.5 500GB 7k Seagate/2.5GHz Core2Duo
Anyone having trouble with iTunes needs to check their machine into the Genius Bar.
It's literally 1 second after a quick quit and reopen to full screen. My genius indexing doesn't even that take that long.

I think that's a great idea if only they were able to let Apple know what they find. 4.0 was tested like crazy and lots of bugs that should have been noticed got thru the process. 4.1 also

I don't see anything in iTunes 10.1 about print management? Where are you seeing this?

iTunes 10 worries me.
I don't understand what Apple is doing sometimes, but if the grayscale is a prelude to OS X 10.7, I will probably permanently switch to my Windows 7 Boot Camp on my iMac. All these years of technical advances and speed increases which allow our computer to run rich interfaces and they come out with essentially a monochrome interface?! I like clean and simple UI that gets out of my way; MobileMe is a great example, but draining the color out of my screen? I can hardly wait to buy a $1,000 27" Apple display for my monochrome applications!
They expend all this effort on the beautiful hardware to get it "out of the way" of my content, yet on the software side, they make a browser that doesn't have full screen capability and drain all the color out of their most important app. Something that has been available on Windows for 15 years with IE. I switched to Chrome on my Mac which DOES have full screen and it is great. I love the "Reader" function in Safari, but it is hampered by the inability of the browser to go full screen. I should also mention favicon. Why doesn't Safari support that?
The best UI available now is with Windows 7 and the IE9 browser. Simple, clean, beautiful and functional. Apple should remember that the application is part of the content too. That is why we buy computers, to have a nice interface to look at and use. If I just want my "content" I'll just read the paper or look at my CD.
I was wondering about a couple of those things, thank you. I actually reinstalled iTunes 9 after I saw the interface in iTunes 10 with the grayscale and the inverted stoplights. What the hell kind of decisions are they making?

Apple has been going into the grayscale direction for a long time now. They replaced colored icons by two color ones on many toolbars long ago. It continued with replacing brushed metal by gray. The menu bar is also two colored. And now iTunes is.
I personally like this approach. And I also don't think it's a horrible change to make the window buttons vertical... It makes sense the way they did it on iTunes.
Your dock is the place where color happens, just like the new windows dock-like task bar.
Windows has also gone to two color tray icons btw, and at least a lot less colored toolbar buttons in the standard apps. Also the window buttons on Windows are two colored, except for when you hover over them...
I don't think the difference is too huge. It's just a trend at the moment. And personally I like the content centered, UI minimalistic way of Apple. And you are probably right that 10.7 will go even further into this direction.
