MacRumors was digging throughout the latest developer beta of Mac OS X Lion when it found a slightly intriguing new option — in case you choose “Restart to Safari” at the user lock screen, the pc will reboot right into a mode which is composed entirely of the net browser. If that sounds familiar, perhaps you’ve heard of Google’s Chrome OS , a partially-fledged operating system that runs throughout the browser itself… but we have not heard Apple express a desire for this kind of thing. Now, certainly we have seen numerous Windows desktops and laptops ship with a secondary, browser-centric OS like Splashtop to be able to have an instant-on mode, but when you will want boot and reboot the pc to get to Safari, that does not sound like much of an improvement. Perhaps it is a technique to let guests (or children) entertain themselves without giving them access for your files? All we all know for certain is that it is a most mysterious option.
