Silver or Lead?

, , ,

We have 2.0 of that, but I don't know whether it is silver or not.
Anyway, when you open that page, you may see the below left with standard Opera, and if you set "Mask as something else", you will get right one, in the shadow.

Don't ask me the name of the image file.

Silverlight?

, , ,

I read an article reporting Microsoft released open Beta version of Popfly, so I tried it, ... and as I expected failed.
-Introducing Popfly Beta: Open to All

You cannot use Opera, any version, with Popfly, even after installing Silverlight plugin on your system.
The poster announces Silverlight 1.1 will support for Windows 2000 and Opera as coming soon... (cited from MIX07 Your Product is a feature of the Web!) and I think it is not very cool.
-System Requirements

OK. We seem to need Silverlight 1.1, for Opera. Then I went this page, and installed 1.1 alpha, which is a little old, issued on this July, hey it's October, you know, what did they do lately? :frown:
With this alpha, Opera still shows only a error message at Popfly.

Zune, made by Toshiba?

,

Many sources report MS's Zune player uses some components made by Toshiba, a Japanese company.
Where do they make/assemble them? In China? Probably so. Because they have to fight against iPod, which is assembled in mainland China, with unbelievably low wages.
