I've got a pretty indepth knowledge of every OS I've used for any length of time. My first instinct with all things is to unscrew the lid and find out what makes it tick and for me, operating systems practically beg to be tinkered with,

Semi-related yet off-topic, but in not divulging their sales figures, Valve is hurting the PC as a gaming platform in huge and undeniable ways. They are, in essence, destroying it by making it appear that no one buys games for Windows. All

Being a long time Opera user, I find the regularity with which Opera gets the cold shoulder highly irritating. Also a very odd move considering it'll be on the European Windows 7 alternative browser option list in a couple of weeks.

I think several people nailed this when the story broke, it really was a pretty superficial observation for such an apparently broad analysis. Slightly off topic, but it just struck me that I'd like to see app icons in the task manager and

Honestly? Make a sequel with more features/games ASAP and drop the price of the first to $1.99. You'll have your very own cash cow. Assuming of course that it didn't take you a year to create the first.

I've been using it for a while, but it's nigh uselss to me. I can send and recieve SMS and get voicemail but, being in the UK, I can't do anything else. VOIP involving Google Talk would be the absolute charm.

Indeed, Flash has outlived it's usefulness and created a lot of lazy web development. The faster we move away, the faster there will be something better.

I was wondering the same. I imagine the material structure is tiny, multifaceted particles that reflect a different colour / value at each angle of incidence. I'm not certain how you'd do that with a realtime display. but if each of those p

Sure. Their entire drive recently has been to prove to Apple and the rest of the world that they're worth keeping around. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if this release has been pushed forward by a few months.

I smell a rushed out product here so there's not a lot of hope for it having been fully optimised in the way flash has been for Windows (the video was using 8% CPU on my win7 system btw). But at least they're actually fighting back with som

I really hope this is a step they mean to extend through their browsers. Opera have always struck me as the most innovative of the browser developers and I often look to them to see what will be commonplace next.

It's a trap! If Apple rejects it's application, Opera will complain about a monopoly to the EU with some words about a closed system intentionally preventing competition and... Stop me if you've heard this before. Theoretically, if they got

Love it or hate it, flash still counts for a lot of the entertainment sector's web functionality. Apple should admit that many of it's users miss that and will continue do so with even greater poignancy when the iPad ships. This will rage o

Read the article. It's about iPhone users attempting to download it. Assuming there's no smoke and mirrors (unlikely) it would be the best piece of leverage so far in this increasingly pathetic squabble.
