Safari:
updated to version 2.0.3 (417.8) with following fixes

• Safari now displays certain documents that have text/plain headers as plain text rather than treating them as HTML.
• On certain websites, such as Telia Webmail, buttons on a page might overlap in Safari; this update resolves the issue.
• Text within a nested HTML table's cells (such as a web-based form) no longer disappears when you click it.
• Addresses an issue in which some websites, such as www.cbsnews.com, could cause CPU usage to spike unnecessarily, or cause Safari to stop responding, unless Safari's Enable JavaScript preference was deselected.
• Resolves an issue in which Safari could unexpectedly quit if you tried to save a web page which includes an inline PDF file as a Web Archive.
• Addresses an issue that could cause Safari to unexpectedly quit when filling out forms on some websites.
• .Mac now syncs which RSS feed items you have and haven't read in Safari.
