—Look under Applications Web Browsers Safari

Safari is a web browser—an application that helps you find, view, and interact with webpages. Safari is designed to maximize your view of webpages, so you’ll find minimal controls, such as a scroll bar that appears only when it’s needed, and customizable toolbars that you can hide so more of the window is available for content.

New Features:

• Top Sites
  Safari 4 tracks the sites you browse and ranks your favorites, presenting up to 24 thumbnails on a single page.
• Full History Search
  Safari automatically stores all the text and a thumbnail of every page in your history. That makes it easy for Safari to get results even if you don't remember much about the site you’re searching for.
• Cover Flow
  Cover Flow offers a highly visual way of reviewing your site history and bookmarked sites, presenting full-page previews of the websites that look as they did when you last visited them.
• Full-page zoom
  Zoom in or out on web content using keyboard shortcuts, Multi-touch trackpad gestures, or the Zoom toolbar button for more comfortable reading. Images and graphics scale up while your text remains
• razor sharp, keeping the webpage layout consistent as you zoom in and out.
• Nitro Engine
  Safari executes JavaScript nearly 8 times faster than Internet Explorer 8 and more than 4 times faster than Firefox 3 based on performance in leading industry benchmark tests: iBench and SunSpider.
• Developer Tools
  In Safari 4, developers will find the best set of development tools ever included in a browser. Simply enable them in Safari preferences and use them to examine the structure of a page, debug JavaScript, optimize performance and compatibility, inspect offline databases, or test experimental pieces of code on the fly.

Although building a content knowledge base is certainly an important aspect of acquiring a quality education, building the capacity for developing understanding and generating insight are of equal import. The STELLA software is specifically designed to build students' skills in building understanding--whether of a great piece of literature, Newton's Laws, or the working of an ecosystem. When the STELLA software is used to create curriculum materials, students...

• Engage more deeply with the course material
• Build deeper and richer understanding
• Develop critical thinking skills
• Exercise their collaborative and communication skills

The STELLA software is uniquely suited to deliver on these promises because it combines mechanical ease-of-use with a very powerful general framework for thinking (Systems Thinking). Together these form an approach that utilizes:  

• Simulation to engage students through discovery-oriented experimentation
• An icon-based language that captures how things really work
• A communication toolset designed to facilitate managing diverse viewpoints.

The STELLA software and associated framework (Systems Thinking) enable professionals in science and research to:

• Represent key physical, biological and social processes operationally.
