Ich wollte schon immer schreiben wie Peter Saville.

Yet another one more thing… a new Web Inspector!:
“As some of you saw last week at WWDC, we have a brand new version of the Web Inspector. We know that a lot people have found the current Web Inspector useful, and we have gotten a lot of feedback and sugestions about how to make it even better. And boy have we been listening! We have taken the current Web Inspector and have added a bunch of new features that you will find invaluable for web development:
We will be telling you in more detail about all of the great new features in future blog posts.
We have been working on this for a long time, but now we want to get the whole WebKit community involved with making this the best web development tool available. So show up in #webkit or on the mailing list and suggest new ideas or implement them yourself (remember everything is HTML, JavaScript and CSS)!
And there is one more thing… all of this new inspector goodness also works on Windows.
The new inspector is available in the Mac and Windows nightly builds.
