I like that we can give instant feedback to Apple if a webpage isn't working properly.

One thing i'm lost on. When i send a bug report, i have no idea if it's actually sending. Nothing appears, no activity in the status bar, nada.

Do any of you see anything that i'm not seeing?

No. But my network activity monitor shows me that OS X is sending something. I hope it's the bug report and not my decrypted keychain file

Check the console log. If the crash report was sent successfully, there will be a message indicating thus.

Safari uses Cocoa anti-aliasing (which is wonderful imo), so you can't turn it off unless you disable it in the whole system (I thought there were hacks for that, not?)

System Preferences > General > Turn Off Text Smoothing For Font Sizes [ ] and smaller

Only full system prefs for this one, but i'm not sure why people have problems with this, if you have having issues and using and LCD display play with options above the one described above for the different types of font displays, some of them work better for different displays than others.
