Your legacy will be remembered forever. RIP Steven Paul Jobs, 1955 – 2011. Here’s a good coverage on the great man’s death. What a life.

New Apple’s Safari 5 released with great new features. One of the coolest feature, beside 3rd party Extensions, is Safari Reader.

What is Safari Reader? If you find a page with lots of texts, by means a web page with relatively long article, a small gray “Reader” button now appears in the URL bar. If you click it, Safari strips out all of the clutter on the page (ads, widgets, sidebars, headers and footers), and presents just the text in a large typeface, cleanly formatted in a white window that floats, lightbox-style, over a darkened page.

What also cool is, Safari Reader strings multipage articles together in the same window automatically. For example, head to this well written Apple article from Fast Company using Safari 5. The article spreads into 7 pages. If you turn on Safari Reader, it will look like this:

Although it is controversial among web publishers (what Apple do that are not getting controversy anyway?), this feature is highly useful for users, who are into web reading. If you’ve connected with me at Twitter, you know that i’m a big fan of reading. And since 4 years ago, i switched to web reading. The most helpful technology in web reading to me is still Instapaper, as i find it is more comfortable to read on the iPhone than desktop with their iPhone app. But now, Safari Reader definitely comes in second.

Update: MacOSHints posted a useful tutorial on how to modify the look of Safari Reader.

MacLife:

From the monolithic Mac Pro right down to the where-the-heck-did-I-leave it size of the iPod shuffle, Cupertino has something shiny ready and waiting for you.

Note: and this is why i dump blog’s sidebar, no matter how big the pictures are, there’s always a wide space to can fit in!

It’s here, Safari browser extension with the release of Safari 5! Here’s how to start using it:

1. Open Safari Preference, then tick Show Develop menu in menu Bar.

2. From Develop menu, tick on Enable Extensions

3. Start to browse around unofficial Safari Extensions and install some. When you’re installing extension, you’ll be warned. However, I installed Adblock for Safari and it works great!

4. You can find and manage your installed extensions through Preferences > Extensions

Please also aware that this is still at developer’s experiment access level, so you must prepare for bugs and errors. Apple will open its official Extension Gallery later this summer.

If you think you need expensive solution like Adobe’s Acrobat Pro to accomplish this on a Mac, well, you don’t. Because actually this capability was build in on your Mac OS. And it’s actually easy to use.

For example. Say you need to save a web page. What you need to do is to open the web page, then click on File then Print. A dialog window like this will open, then click the button like the image suggest:

You’ll get a dropdown choice like this, then pick Save as PDF…

You’ll be brought to another window like this, where you can add Subject, Keyword, Password etc for the .pdf file. Click Save and you’re done.
