An iCloud keychain? No thanks.
Funny, I thought "at last!" 1Password is fine, but I'd prefer a more integrated experience.

#52Can anyone explain this? http://tctechcrunch2011.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/scaled-s... Is that real or just BS?
Why would it BS? This is almost always the case. Safari has plenty of notches on it's belt, it's just that the Chrome and FF teams do far tighter release cycles allowing for improvements like this to be pushed out the door faster. Safari is a great browser, always has been. This is hardly surprising or new, just like it's not novel that Chrome will meet and exceed those stats within a month or two of the release of S…
I expect other browsers could greatly improve JSBench performance if they focused on it. But I would be quite surprised if they matched Safari's current results in a month. It took a lot more than a month and significant architectural work to get those results in the first place.

#53The news cycle rolls on. Let's see how challenger WWDC fares against defender PRISM.
There should be a way to vote for an ongoing event to remain at the top of the frontpage of HN for some days or weeks in form of a link to all related stories/links. I'm sure this could be done in a very automated way, showing milestone articles on a timeline, best comments etc.

LastPass does this really well for all devices, works with any browser, even mobile too! This iCloud key chain must be Safari only! :)
I thought they'll add KeyChain integration in iOS more deeply. Something like, "If you tap-hold on a password field in an iOS app, the OS will ask you if you want to paste the password from your KeyChain." That's where it becomes much more useful than LastPass.

Safari 6.x is jam packed with new web inspector capabilities. What are you talking about?
It's more capable, unfortunately the interface is rather inscrutable. It's a bunch of little tiny icons with no context you have to guess at. When I have a lot of work to do debugging something, I switch over to Chrome which still has the old style layout, because I find it much easier to use.
I too agree that the tiny icons are beyond worthless.
Re: Apple Updates Safari
#57I actually downgraded back to v5 because of the terrible changes they made to Web Inspector in v6, so I'm pretty annoyed that they didn't even mention it when introducing the new version -- at a developers' conference, no less!
You'll love 7.0 then!
The tools save all the robust features added in 6.0, but they sent a designer to go over them again in 7.0 so it's pretty and powerful now.
Here's a screenshot of me running the Safari 7.0 dev tools in the multi-monitor space:

yeah the UI is much different. I read somewhere apple is trying to keep the UI consistent among XCode debugger and Safari debugger. Notice, they have almost the same UI design.
That's true, it is somewhat similar with the XCode interface. I'd rather they switch the XCode interface to be more like Safari 5 had. The interface in XCode isn't bad. My big problem is that you can't view source any more, it's crammed in that panel. The list of requests? Crammed in that panel. JS console? Inspecting elements? All crammed in there. I always feel light I'm fighting to find what I want instead of swit…
This year's WWDC they broke down how to use the debugger and some advanced tips (2 sessions that you can watch online: https://developer.apple.com/wwdc/videos/). Btw, new Safari seems to have changed the UI again, this time for better the icons are bigger now :)

#60Google Chrome Team: "Ah snap, and we just dropped WebKit!" Edit: It's a joke, guys. :/
Nothing in there was particularly unknown as far as I know – Webkit 2 has been around for a while, Blink wanted a different direction on much of the newer architectural decisions IIRC.
Speaking of BLINK, Dallas based IIICTECH has been using BLINK for years. They're getting trampled by both Google & Microsoft. So mutch for having a good idea & having a far shot at owning intellectual property... like a trademark. (www.ismorethan.com)
