Opera's Slashdot Easter Egg and Speed Dial
Thelomen writes "Opera Browser contains an Easter egg that is not widely known, recently reported over at OperaWatch.com: type /. in the address bar and you are taken directly to slashdot.org. Other recent news from Opera is their new Speed Dial feature, present in the most recent build from Desktop Team. At first glance Speed Dial just looks like 9 bookmarks you can open with CTRL+1 to CTRL+9. However, the pages on the Speed Dial are shown in thumbnail and are automatically pre-fetched in background — a useful thing if you have some heavy pages among your top bookmarks."
Exciting. Well, not really. Both Opera and Firefox have had this ability to make bookmark keywords for a long time. Woopty-freakin-do. Ranks up with the original post in terms of unnecessary information.
Speaking of the OP, as easter eggs go, yeah it is lame. Hardly worth a post. It's all just fanboyism of one type or another.

... it will also include an Easter egg: typing "M$" will take you directly to www.microsoft.com.
