I wonder what Safari Reader is like. Is it meant to compete with Google Reader? If it is, I bet Safari Reader will be much slicker and snappier overall.
Got a tip for us?

Why do you say that? A revamp of Xcode doesn't necessarily mean anything regarding 10.7.
Safari 5 on PPC?
Is there any chance that Safari 5 will be coming to the PPC as well? (fingers crossed)
I know 10.6.x has a Safari that is a few steps ahead of 10.5.x for the PPC. Which I was reminded of when looking at the HTML demo site apple built (Virtual demo would not work).
Any insight/thoughts?

wifi sms
is there any reason apple can't use wifi to send out text messages? I dont have service in much of my house on AT&T but I have wifi everywhere and could use that to send out text messages.
app store apps like text plus can do this but it doesn't work as seamlessly as Apple could make it for many reasons. plus, less data would be used on the network and u could probably downgrade to a cheaper texting plan.

Funny, I felt the exact opposite.
Funny thing, I tried Chrome and thought "what's the big deal here?". I found it a tad slower than Safari on most pages and pretty much rendered the same with a few CSS bugs when doing some Dojo development (i.e.: it did not render a few things correctly). I always felt like it was "90% of Safari".
My biggest excitement with Chrome was to setup my browser theme, but alas after searching through 30 or so themes I just did not like the look of it and I got bored with the idea of picking a browser theme. I found I just liked my windows to have a consistent look and feel as it just seemed "cleaner". Chrome stood out too much from the rest of the desktop (and not in a good way).
I heard Google is pretty quick in fixing bugs so maybe I should submit the CSS glitches to them when I have the time (some things work in IE7, IE8, Safari 4, and FF 3.x but fail in Chrome). I just hope their bug submission process is better than you get with their online apps (i.e.: post to some forum and just get responses from other users saying "the same thing happened to me and google never helped me fix it").
I am thinking about switching to Chrome on Linux for my casual browsing, but right now I use clunky Firefox on Linux since that is where I do most of my development and you simply can't beat the Firebug plugin when doing web development (Firebug Lite is not bad for every other browser though). But it would be good to have a decent Webkit browser on Linux (even if its just Google's Windows version compiled against the WINE libraries).
So the moral of the story, to each his own -- just glad we have options to choose from. It really stunk when Internet Explorer was the only viable browser out there. I am excited to see what Safari-5 will offer.

I would imagine so, unless Apple also discontinued the XP version, which I don't see them doing. It would be silly if Safari 5 ran on XP but not Leopard.
I don't actually use Google Reader directly at all other than it has an API that lets you sync between devices so your feeds are in the same state across my phone (in Gravity on my Nokia) and in NetNewsWire on my Macs.
If Safari's reader doesn't sync with Google's API then it's going to be worthless duplication and everybody is already using Google's API.
However, I'm not sure 'Safari Reader' is a direct mapping to 'Google Reader'. Safari already has a built in RSS feed reader. Maybe they've done something much more than a simple reader.
My guess is that the chance of Safari 5 shipping for PowerPC architecture is around 0.3%, especially if it's using libraries and APIs only available on Snow Leopard 10.6.

But yes, I hope they add that feature too.Safari already uses SL-only technologies. They are just disabled in the PPC version (like the sandboxed plugins.)
I think the chances of an intel-only Safari is as likely as an intel and Windows 7-only version of iTunes.
Chrome can't even play HTML5 video without spinning up my machine's fans. Coupled with the scrolling lag, I had to ditch it.
Plenty of people buy Android phones (and Symbian and Blackberry) in markets where the networks are all compatible with each other.
Not everybody is in love with the iPhone or wants one or can afford one or thinks it's the best phone out there.
I'd love to see them bring back the Blue Loading Bar in Safari 5!!
Or... at least an option?
Is there anyway to do this in Safari 4? (Non Beta....)

Check out Brandon Walkin's XCode UI suggestions.
I think DashCode will be updated to support iPad widgets.
And I hope Safari 5 hardware accelerates 2d canvas and SVG rendering.
Some nice suggestions !
