This is not abt the apple fruit.This is abt the Apple company product MACHINTOSH.
Most of them in Qatar use windows xp as thier operating systems and have not experienced mac power.Its really amazing and super graphics.I really recommend u to experience it.
SOME FACTS :-
MAC OS can be istalled only on mac hardware and mac PC r costly than the normal PCs.and that is y most of them havent experienced MAC and it's not common in Qatar.
But still MAC can be installed on the very PC which ur using rite now but u need sumone who knows to do it and who got the rite software for it...this one is totally different!
WONDERING U CANT EXPERIENCE APPLE POWER NOW?
Atleast feel it using thier internet browser SAFARi...it amazing and fast.QATAR LIVING really loads fast in SAFARi.
What more....its free and ur just a click away...
www.apple.com/safari/download/

Plz give ur comments!

when u open the youtube site in safari, u will get a msg saying that either javascript is not installed or disabled and there will be one option to install, click on it and wait for the installation to complete.After that, restart ur browser.If still its not working, just give a restart to ur PC, everything would be fine for sure!

Ramadan kareem.

1- First of all download this file [Fonts file]:

http://download.yousendit.com/989F3A185AE3B386

2- Check your folder options to make sure that the option 'Show Hidden Files' is checked, to do that open any folder that you got there. From the main menu there go to Tools --> Folder Options and navigate to 'View' tab then to 'show files and folders' and check the 'show hidden files and folders' and we are done here.

3- After downloading this file and showing hidden files navigate on your computer to the following directory [Assuming that you are using Windows XP]:

C:\Documents and Settings\Your user name or account name\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer\Safari

4- Copy the downloaded file to this directory, right click on it and choose 'Properties' then check the 'Read Only' option down there, you will find a similar font file there from before, rename it to anything that u want and we are done here.

5- Open your Safari browser now to see the difference :)

Hope this would be in a help.

Best Regards

Muhammed12,

Just now I have installed Apple Safari browser to my PC. No doubt it looks really great and really faster too. But my complaint is the text appears somewhat blurred and I found it not soothing eyes. Any solution?

I can say YES INDEED POWER OF PRICE! well I'm not really into paying a software application just to use in your day to day work. Why pay more like M$ Window$ Vi$ta or XP or Mac OSx when there is a FREE ONE! Try using UBUNTU Festy Fawn (Ubuntu 7.04). Ubuntu is one of the Linux distribution.

Official Site: http://www.ubuntu.com/

Download the Operating System: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download

Here some tips to do;

1. Download the .iso file

2. Burn it to CD

3. Boot your computer from CD/DVD Drive

4. Enjoy using the free world

I used Linux since mid '95 and it rocks it gives me a lot of options to do. I started with Slackware 3.6 in that year people are comparing with window$ 95 but HUH who cares why should I but license and the free one can do what I need.

Ok I know people why they want the shiny (as they say) Window$, it is because of Games???? Nah that is wrong on linux we got tons of games actually I play War Craft, Call of Duty, Grand Thief on my box...

And here's more! I can run Window$ application on it by using CrossOver

Last thing! NO VIRUS/SpyWare to worry!

Hope this can give some insight to the people....

Is HD Hi-Density Video Playback content avilable on Apple?

Is HDMI Output Available on Apple? (to connect Laptop to 42" HDTV at 1080 resolution)???

Is HD-DVD OR BlueRay-DVD Playback available on Apple (leave alone Write/RW on HD-DVD or BD-DVD)???

Apple ruled the roost because of higher Bus-speed. Now Apple does not lead the hi-end.

Yes apple PCs r now equipped with intel processor, doesnt mean that u can buy a retail DVD and install in on any PC...coz though it is intel processor , the hardware platform is the same MAC platform and not X86.

A browsers loading speed depends on the pages saved on Hard disk.

Since a browser cannot increase your internet line speed.

The more MB you let your browser have to save pages & cookies the faster it loads.

And as for the claim for "executing JavaScript faster" a user cannot detect that as the processors today can do that in a second.

And Apples today (2006 onwards) ship with INTEL processors.

Apples Forte:

1. Apple beats every competing product on "looks".

2. Apple ships with a laptop/desktop ready with all software so as to work "right-out-of-the-box."

You are right, I tried Safari 3 Beta like 3 or 4 months before. I know that Safari browser is much faster than IR when i experienced MAC before when I install it on my machine.

You can install MAC OSX on the PC, but you can't expect the same performance and efficiency that you will get it if the same operating system was installed on a MAC machine. Some of the drivers won't be available fro the PC and you can't even find them over the internet easily. You will go with some drivers compiled by some people and it will work, but not the perfect way it is supposed to work. The processor of MAC and Graphics cards are highly recommended for designing purposes.

The MAC machines are so powerful, but you will not find that much of support for games and software that you are using for windows. The only ting that makes windows so popular is its support to most of the software used around the world, when other operating systems can overcome this issue, then te glory would be for Linux and the Red Hat.

Whats your thoughts about buying an apple iphone from USA. Will it work here? Whats that thing you wrote about "unlock with AT&T sim for free which doesnot work here in Qatar". Does it mean the apple store can unlock it for me if I pay the AT&T subscription for 2 years, then come and change the SIM to Qtel's.

By Muhammed12• 25 Sep 2007 23:17

Has anyone had trouble opening excel sheets on safari? With safari I had to save the file to my HD and then open it with excel. Whereas with Firefox it just opened by itself not having to save it to my disk.

The other problem was opening a video attachment(.wmv) on the safari, it wouldn't open and showed some error, but with Firefox no probs. Any inputs!??

However looks like apple comps are far ahead of windows based computers.
