How to Restore Safari Last Opened Tabs (Session)
During Safari 4 browsing experience on Windows, I couldn’t understand why Safari won’t restore my last opened web pages during the launch nor do find a way to do that. Fortunately, I have found a solution to do that and it’s really simple.
If menu bar is hidden, hit Alt to enable it, then click:
History > Reopen All Windows from Last Session
That’s it.
Safari 4 Final Released
Picture Source: cNet
At the WWDC today Apple has announced the final version of Safari 4 web browser for both, Windows and Mac OS X. As I am kind of getting bored with all the lies from them, won’t even comment their latest statement: “world’s fastest and most innovative web browser.” (according to AppleInsider) Good for them, I guess.
Few new features in the final release are:
— Top Sites, offering a visual preview of frequently visited and favorite pages
— Full History Search, to search through titles, web addresses and the complete text of recently viewed pages
— Cover Flow, to easily flip through web history or bookmarks.
— Smart Address Fields for automatically completing web addresses from an easy to read list of suggestions
— Search Fields, to fine tune searches with recommendations from Google Suggest or a list of recent searches
— Full Page Zoom, for a closer look at any website without degrading the quality of the site’s layout and text.

Apple Researching Methods to Offer Customized Control of Browser Based Audio Content
MacRumors writes:
In a patent application filed in November 2007 and released today, Apple reveals that it is researching methods for providing customized audio control for Internet browser content. The research is targeting the inability for a single system volume setting to address multiple simultaneous audio-generating applications, a common inconvenience for computer users.
