Right on! Sounds good. Man, Monday is gonna be freaking epic. Well if there's gonna be Bing support for Safari, then I'm sure we can see Bing support for Safari Mobile. I won't be using it though. I really hope 10.6.4's graphics drivers boost my performance in Steam.

Read about this over at Appleinsider earlier today. Is it coming, or is it rumored to be coming?

I'm interested to see that. I hope it's better than Safari's or Mail's current implementation of RSS feeds.

I wonder what the new Xcode will do. All of this is for sure? I wonder if there will be anymore surprises at all.

What extensions do you "need"? I have Ad Block and FlashBlock on Safari. Are you not looking hard enough?
