Third point, requesting it be emailed to YOUR MAC.COM email address is borderline Canadien.
Really? How political of you. I visit these sites for information and advice about Mac related issues. I had no idea that Macrumors was a place for venting issues of cross-border relationships.
As to the Safari 6.4 issue. I have just downloaded the 6.2 version and I am very pleased with it. Being a "newbie" to Mac, I find using Safari so much easier than Explorer in every regard. To those who are developing this software - Keep up the good work!

Re: ummm???
I'm sorry if there is something worse than the french it must be french canadians. I hear every year that Canada wants to become english as its language and every year the french canadians say never. Urg.
Don't call CNN stupid? Why are you saying this again. What are you opposed to war or something? CNN shows you Pro-War. Many americans are also anti-war...
Anyway SpyMac isn't stupid.. they pulled the link too. How about we all create a code word for 'gimme the latest safari build' And we all PM eachother for the word...
I think I'll give myself a pat on the back for that one.

TMA,
When a link is already supposed to open in a new window (coded on the page itself) then safari has problems opening it in a new tab while holding the command key (or the command + shift keys). It says in the info window at the bottom that it is going to open in a new tab, but it still doesn't.

And now you notice there are about 50000 PM in your user cp box. Expect them all to want it.
I don't really care... oh wow I have the latest safari version, sure it might be better but... apple didn't post it. and arn is gonna flame me.
much better rendering. mouseovers on tabs is a nice touch.
has anyone figured out how to disable link underlining?? apparently the hack to do it no longer works. :/
i hate underlined links.

is it just me or do i feel like apple are the ones releasing these builds. i mean come on think about it. they are getting free feedback on safari, without anyone having to jump on their ass. no one will go to apple saying safari .64 erased their whole computer because the person who used it technically didnt have it legally, although apple doest care.

fixed. apple seems to have removed the hover: declaration in the text decorations. if you have a modified html4.css, remove the line with the hover declaration. having it will give you text probs.
Hmm My version not working!
Ok I have Safari build v.64 but see no tab browsing or anything new.. AND yess it is a v.64 build so do not worry about that..Everyone else that got this build it seems to work fine but mine does not.. I have deleted and installed it 3 times now and still no go!.. No TABS Nothing.. Any suggestion why I can not get them to work!??... In fact it looks no different than the official Apple release version v.60
Any suggestions?.. HELP!!!

make sure you have the bsd subsystem installed, if you dont go find it in your startup disk, then go download safari enhancer. tell to open the debug menu. then open safari and go to the debug menu and tell it you want tabs.

Tab interface
Seems to me the tab UI is upside down; that the tab should be "sticking up" from the main content window, not "hanging down" from the bookmarks bar or rest of the interface. Or possibly least invert the active/inactive looks; in the examples that were posted, I feel the three "sunken tabs" associate more with the main window, since the shaded area runs the length of the window just above the actual content, rather than the light area, which, as I mentioned, abuts the rest of the UI, not the browser content.

Piracy
I am unsure how a leaked beta can be considered piracy. For example, if you were to buy a newspaper a few hours before it was *officially released by the publisher* is that piracy? No.
A leaked Safari build is simply a broken contract between an employee, a tester, etc.
So I say download away, don't be afraid- last time I checked consumers still have some rights.
...and no I don't have a copy of Safari v64 but as soon as I do- I'll let ya know

"THE APPLE SOFTWARE IS NOT INTENDED FOR USE IN THE OPERATION OF NUCLEAR FACILITIES, AIRCRAFT NAVIGATION OR COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS, AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL SYSTEMS, LIFE SUPPORT MACHINES OR OTHER EQUIPMENT IN WHICH THE FAILURE OF THE APPLE SOFTWARE COULD LEAD TO DEATH, PERSONAL INJURY, OR SEVERE PHYSICAL OR ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE."
Please guys, you all mean a lot to me I dont want any of you to die from using Safari, so please use Internet Explorer for the time being. this gives "iLife" a whole new meaning. now introducing iLife, apples consumer life support system, powered by unix so you dont die.
iJon
you do make a stong point in my opinion. iwas reading the disclaimer for this build and i didnt find anything saying the average user may not use this. i did find this funny. check this out.Originally posted by Ocelot

Re: Piracy
Sigh... not to open this debate up.
It's not a question of "harm"... it's a question of ownership.
What if you spread around a copy of a early-draft of a newspaper story... even a story that was going to be given away in the end. Does that make it right? Debatable. Does that make it legal? No.
Is spreading a beta of an Apple free-ware app "wrong" - not by most people's reasoning.
Is it illegal? Yes.

Receiving stolen goods is a crime, right?
Being a felon feels like... nothing. Hmph.

camino..
is better.
Safari looks like a stereo system from the 70's..brush metal is dull and i'm sick of it..(yes i know about metalifizer or whateverskis) i think i'm going to switch back to camino...better rendering, tabbed browsing, seems faster also.
I tried to install Opera but it just crashes..i wanted to try the Browser zoom.
Although i recommend to anyone to have at least 3 browsers on your system of different code bases, i have Camino, Safari and internet Exploder in use.. soo i have gecko, konq, and M$ skunk code.

Macrumors liability
I am not sure how US law works- so perhaps Macrumors would be liable for giving a link that redistributes ANY version of Safari, official or not.
But perhaps it may fall solely on the head of the person who is hosting the file on their server.
There are no laws protecting release dates as far as I know (minus contracts), but there are laws for redistribution of copyrighted goods.
I guess one question is-- do you own software once you download it, or do you merely own a license?
Of course software companies say you own a license, but who knows- perhaps it could be argued [in a court] that you own what is on your computer (for example you use a program to hack into the bank and steal money... If it's not your software would the company that sold you the license be considered negligent? akin to a guy borrowing your car and running over his wife...)
I think it is something Macrumors should check out- allowing people to put links to pre-release software is kinda sneaky -but so is the whole premise to a rumor site.

Re: Macrumors liability
Well, that may be a different issue. Copyright is not revoked when someone is sold a copy of a piece of work. If I buy a book... or even an eBook, it doesn't mean that the contents are no longer copyrighted.
What about books? Even if you say you own the "book", you don't have the right to copy it and distribute it... right?
