Apple recently released Safari 3.1 for Mac and Windows. Yes, that’s right, Windows. I know that it is old news, because Apple has had a version of Safari for Windows since last year. However, it was officially considered a beta version. Safari 3.1 is not a beta release, but an official release.
Arstechnica has a new review of Safari 3.1 for Windows, and it’s good…surprisingly good.

Engadget has a fairly honest review of the MacBook Air. Praises go for design and usability, but there are concerns on what is sacrificed to get a Mac into this slim package.

MacWorld has a first look at Office 2008 before it’s January 15 release.
MacWorld has posted a review of Roxio’s video compression utility, Popcorn. Giving it 4 and a half mice, MacWorld states that it has a “Easy-to-use interface; time-saving features; multiple conversion options; batch support; includes disc labeling software; TiVo support,” but may not be worth it if you are familiar with the numerous free options out there, such as Handbrake.
I’ve always liked Roxio’s Mac products. They are easy to use, pleasing on the eye, and usually, reasonably priced. Popcorn is $50. For the price of a couple of shareware utilities, Popcorn is a very tasty piece of software.
