Why I Use Opera - A case for the browser underdog

May09

 

Opera LogoI’ve been using Opera since it reached version 9.0 in 2006. I have used it every day since in one form or another. I use Opera on my PA laptop, on my Mac, on my TV, my games console and on my Phone, and since Opera’s rendering engine is now built into some Adobe products (Photoshop, Dreamweaver and GoLive) I’m using Opera even when I don’t realise it.

They’re not a band that your whole group of friends will like, some people will understand and some won’t. Read more »

Macbook Airy fairy

January15

Whilst at work today, I, like almost everyone else in the office, was being updated in some way/shape/form on the Macworld keynote speech, in which lord Jobs announced a number of products including the Macbook Air. Possibly the most talked-about piece of hardware since the iPhone, the ultra-portable macbook looks mighty pretty (see picture below) and is incredibly small. I’m writing this on a 3rd generation Macbook with the same 13.3″ screen, but the new Air will be almost as thin as the lid of the macbook! Read more »
