It's the little things that make the difference

Ever since I switched to OS X (3 or 4 years ago now) there was one thing that bugged me about Safari, the fact that searching in the Google box took you to Google.com, rather than giving you a choice of which version of Google. To me this seemed like Apple were forgetting their international customers. There were hacks to get around this or plugins, but nothing officially supported by Apple or in my view didn't have the potential to compromise system stability.

Then yesterday, whilst Googling The Electric Cinema I ended up at Google.co.uk. It seems that Google has set up a redirect from Google.com to Google.co.uk, as just entering the URL in the address bar triggers the diver too.

I am pretty chuffed that pretty much the only niggle I have with OS X/Safari has been sorted, even if it took Google to sort it out, I just hope that they keep this.

PS: The Electric Cinema is a great place to see films, a refreshing change from the multiplex cinemas that are pretty much the only option around here. We saw Exit Through The Gift Shop, the street art film by Banksy, which was informative, thought provoking and very funny.
