Linux.com: Opera 9.5 gives Firefox 3 a run for its money

Two of the most popular Linux browsers were unveiled this month after years of development — the open source Firefox 3 and the proprietary Opera 9.5 … But Opera 9.5 is no less revolutionary than Firefox, matching its open source rival feature for feature

Another nifty time-saving feature is the wand, which stores autocomplete information, including passwords. Like with the new Firefox, the wand in Opera doesn't interfere with browsing, saving username and passwords in the background…

Firefox 3 ? available for download at 10am PDT Tuesday ? is the culmination of a two-year quest to build the best browser ever. And while its not perfect, it comes pretty close.

It’s a small enhancement, but it’s a noticeable one that many users will welcome. Older versions of Firefox were dressed in the same gray clothes no matter which operating system you ran. In Firefox 3, each OS gets its own skin…

AMD has an ace up its sleeve

Why switching to Mac was the right move

David has been talking through his switch from Windows to Mac for four months now. He switched because Macs have rekindled that passion for technology that’s been missing for years.

Hi David,For me, while I'm pretty sure I wouldn't go back, the switch has been a lot more like moving from America to England, where there are minor inconveniences like learning to drive on the other side of the road and little terminology…

MacBook Air hacked with internal EV-DO — finally lives up to its name

One of the most surprising things about the launch of an ultra-portable laptop dubbed “Air” by Apple wasn't it's thinness but the lack of an embedded WWAN radio. No more, at least if you're not intimidated by smoldering solder and warranty violations. Jordan Bunnell has posted a step-by-step of his success at integrating a Verizon USB727 Aircard.

Exclusive Video: Psystar in the Wild

It’s alive. Reader Patrick is lucky enough to be using one of the few Psystar Open Computing machines that have made it into the wild, and he was generous enough to make a video showing the machine (including the connections in the back to the monitor to show that it’s legit). It’s also pretty fast.

3) True Dual OS. Offer Windows XP Home/Media Center/Professional as a 30/40/50 dollar upgrade for Macs and configure it such that you can choose to have XP load at start up AND NOT HAVE US BOOT OSX AND THEN XP. 4) OSX for PC. Once…

Brilliantly Elegant Mac Tablet Concept

Ultra portable, mactab is the compliment to mybook in the high-end. The incredibly thin wireless keyboard is used as a protection cover for transportation. It stays in place with a combination of magnets and notches.

I also added three buttons that are very helpful to have as physical interface : play/stop, backward and forward, that way you can manipulate the remote without looking at it just by feeling the buttons and it allows an instant access to…

Workstation 6.5 Beta 1 - Now with 100% more Unity!

Workstation on Linux now has support for Unity (the ability to run windows apps outside of the regular vmware “box”). Plus it has support for compiz :)

As for vmware-unity-helper’s –run option, the restrictions I mentioned are just a restriction in the current implementation in beta 1. I’m planning to improve this by the final release so that it just works as…

Google Risks Muslim Backlash By Hosting Fitna

Google Video is currently hosting controversial film about Islam Fitma.

Two points stand out: 1) “On the pessimistic side of the equation, concern begins with the Koran itself. In my own reading of the Koran, I began to note down invocations to violence. There are so many of them, however, that I…
