ZDNet Australia takes an iLook at the Year that was for Apple.
Apple Computer CEO Steve Jobs on Tuesday unveiled a new Web browser and said software innovation has placed his company at the forefront of digital entertainment in the home.
The recently-launched Apple browser, Safari for Windows, has received its second lot of patches since its debut earlier this month.
"Macs are as easy to hack as they are to use", according to researcher Charles Miller.
The company updates the test version of its new Web browser as part of its efforts to distance its software environment from Microsoft's.

The company updates the test version of its new Web browser as part of its efforts to distance its software environment from Microsoft's.
Opera Software may go silent on the Macintosh stage. The company has expressed significant doubts it will continue producing a browser for the Macintosh operating system, echoing a growing problem for third-party Mac developers as Apple Computer steps up its own application development efforts.
Apple's Safari offers little challenge to Microsoft's browser dominance, but the Mac maker could benefit enormously if it can wean itself from IE.
