Op/Ed

"One of the difficulties with iCloud syncing is that when I set up a particular data stream to sync through iCloud with other devices, the data can newly appear in unexpected places. Then deleting the data at its unwanted (illogical?) location, say, a Note that was composed on an iPhone and is suddenly found in the inbox of a POP3 account in the OS X Mail app, causes erasure across all devices." MacInTouch 5/26

"I am not sure if I was thinking, as of yet, that my Safari issues were the norm for everyone. The impetus for my original comment was that these issues have become so noticeable to me at this point. Most browsers have nit-pickable issues. It seems heavy use of Flash and Java content are the norm for the web-based experience. I certainly don't know what the future holds in that regard. But by comparison Safari seems to be having more significant issues, in that regard, than other browsers... in my experience..." MacInTouch 5/26

"'My gosh, Safari is really that bad under Lion? I had no idea. Does anyone care to defend Safari and Lion here?' As you'll see with a careful reading of the responses to MacInTouch, Safari in Lion does not have any major built-in issues.One user reports having to force Software Update to redownload Safari. Another succeeded with a mere reset. Others have suggested that visiting too many Flash-based pages slows things down. I'd guess that the vast majority of users are like me, perfectly satisfied with Safari in Lion." MacInTouch 5/25
