Hi Ronit, I do use Facebook with Safari, and unfortunately, I have found no way to update status or write on walls from the full site. It's very annoying, it shows you the Share button, but not the edit box. But I have not found any way to change this. Best, Donna On Mar 14, 2010, at 10:07

Your point about Facebook and web standards is well-taken, but Facebook--whether they follow web standards or not--is a very widely used site. For me right now, this is just one more thing that my Mac can't do that my PC can. The more things like that that are out there, the less likely it is

Hi Everett, I agree 100%. And, I would add that it isn't fair that Apple should have to deal with other developers' sloppy design. That said I do think it's in Apple's best interest to do so. Personally, I'd love to see more blind users switch to the Mac, but it's hard to make that argument
