We've got exciting and new content as always, and this time we feature an interview with Cameron Moll, one of the more influencial and reveered new media designers of our time. Opera's David Storey gives you the full coverage on our PubCon event we attendend in Las Vegas earlier this year.

As for the desktop version of Opera, I'd probably change the UI to be a bit more conventional. The arrangement of the address bar, tabs, and other elements, while unique, is a bit less intuitive compared to other browsers.

Opera has most logical and intuitive default arangement of address field, tabs!

P.S. Please repair URLs to Opera Backstage Russia pictures.

FataL- Agreed!

I've always considered the address bar to be part of the tab, so it's always made sense to have a drill down:

tab->address bar->page/content

Putting the address bar above the tabs has always seemed like your taking an "element" that is a property of the page and making it "global" to the browser, which doesn't make sense. Since each tab has it's own address and bar, it makes sense to have that be a property (and contained within) each tab.
