Acid3 Safari test

The Safari browser passed the Acide3 test with 95/100. The WebKit team has fixed an exceptions, and now they match the DOM 3 specification.



I think the browsers must to match this specification at the top level, because it will be interesting to develope more web apps. Nowadays if you're developing a Web page you need view correctly in the most browsers and it's very hard try and solve the problems.

And congratulations to the WebKit Team.

How to: Get contacts with the iPhone SDK

This source code was developed by Pablo Abad and shows the contacts stored in the iPhone Address Book. The contacts will show in the Xcode console.

Thanks Pablo, and good luck in Munich.

Installing iPhone SDK On PowerPC

If you have installed the iPhone SDk on a Power PC, you can't create iPhone Apps. Because the PowerPC Plattform is not supported by the SDK. Well...., you can install it browsing through the package content in the SDK image disk.
You must intall the aspen packages manually to use it with the XCode. You can se the packages in the image.



After install it you need to move it to the platform folder in the Developer folder. These packages by default will be installed in the root folder, you need to move it to the developer folder. Other option is change the destination folder in the installation app.

After these steps you will see in the new project window the option to develop iPhone apps.
