Web The beta version of Safari version 4 is all the rage on the web right now, and for good reason. It is light, fast, and works well. But it also include a bunch of user interface changes that you may not like. Now, thanks to the guys over at Swedish Campground, you can set some of those interface deviations back the way you want them.
Using the tweaks detailed in this Swedish Campground article, you can move the tabs off the top of the browser, get rid of the Cover Flow view in bookmarks, and a get rid of the Google suggest menu, and a number of other changes. All of the adjustments will require a bit of typing, or copy and pasting, at the command line, but if those new design elements bother you then they are well worth it.

Site News British developer Jon Wheatley let loose a very, very cool tool site today – Intersquash. Intersquash lets you convert any website into an iPhone site…instantly.
As Jon explains in the on his site, it’s a simple 4 step process: enter the RSS feed of your site, enter the site name, upload a home screen icon and place the code provided between the header tags of your website.
That’s it! Your iPhone and iPod Touch visitors will automatically be forwarded to an optimized version of your site. This has got to be one of the coolest ways to make your website available to millions more people. Give it a try! You can also test it with MacDeveloper.org because I have used the tool on this site itself.
