Opera Unite

, ,

Hey
So today we released Unite as ya'll probably noticed. We have been working on this for more than 3 days to put it that way ;-)



Does anyone have any cool ideas for services that can be developed? Anyone planning to make some themselves?
You will see updates on the existing services from us and also new ones, but I think it's interesting to see what the community can come up with :-)


Alternative revenue streams

Basically we found a way to make extra $$. Remove something that will make a group of users scream out loud then offer the poor guys working in frontline some money to put it back so they wont be slapped by the users for too long. So Håvard offered us some cash to put back the viewbar (disabled by default, but available in the appearance dialog) and also to offer the old keyboard shortcuts in the keyboard setup dialog.

We will make changes later on that people won't like. Especially when we are broke and need more money from Håvard :-p


Safari blazingly fast?

, , , ...

First I want to congratulate Apple and their 1 class marketing wizard guru Steve Jobs that could probably sell sand to people living in inner Tchad on the Beta release of Safari on windows
First they claim they are the first to make a fullfledged browser on a phone. Well ya'll know thats far from true..
But he says so so it must be true..
Then they release Safari on Windows.. Something I think is good.. Safari is very good at standards and very cooperative when it comes to OTW :-)

Now regarding speed, Jobs presented a quick Ibench test and everyone was just wooow... They are soo fast..
And yes.. They are really fast in web content presenting the past according to the Benchmark..
Maybe about time Web 2.0 enters apple's HQ?
Web pages are no longer just tables+images and some text. Now you got heavy interaction with tons of "Ajax"


Enough rant about skewed reality: Ibench+Safari+numbers=inaccurate..
Wanna know why? Read on here:
