There's no need for a reviewer of pre-alpha stuff to mention stability? Really? Even when the original post provides a download link but doesn't mention any problems with stability? And the OP doesn't define pre-alpha for the noobs? OK, anonymous coward, you have a nice time flaming out there.
I'm a regular Chrome user. I've tried Opera 10.5 pre-alpha for the last few hours, and I find it at least as snappy on my regular rounds of javascript heavy websites.
I also really like the trend in browsers toward simple UI, with no real estate wasted on menubars. The new Opera looks almost as minimalistic as Chrome. Nice.
However, be warned, this early build really is wonky. Lots of small errors and things that simply don't work. Don't uninstall your main browser just yet.
But, I think you might be able to rely on this pre-alpha build of Opera as your (superfast) gmail client, and then have another browser open for your browsing needs.
An article this excellent is rare enough that it deserves special recognition. Thanks to the author for taking this trip to the middle of nowhere, and relating the experience so lucidly, that I feel almost like I was there myself.
You really couldn't care less, right? You're already at the minimum of caring.
If you could care less, then by all means, please start caring less right away.

I played this game frequently for about a month.
The reviewer clearly hasn't played the game for very long.
While there are a lot of things to like about this game, it gets quite quite repetitive. Also, the AI is not very good. Once you figure out some basic strategy, the AI is no match for you. If the game had multiplayer, it be worth the $20. It's just too too repetitive to actually play for very long against the computer.
Seriously, this number seems low to me. The pending suits against Intel alleged that for a decade Intel conspired to freeze AMD out of the market. Intel poisoned nearly all of AMD's potential customers. Surely that cost AMD a lot more than just a billion or so dollars in lost revenue.
Investigative reporter Seymour Hersh said that the U.S. military had developed a secret new technology for use in urban warfare. He said the technology was revolutionary, equivalent to the first time tanks were deployed on the battlefield. From what I remember, there was speculation that Hersh had learned that the military could now see through walls.
Doesn't bug, silent updates, fast scans, no noticeable performance hit. I can finally get my parents off of their annoying Norton or whatever they paid $50 to use for 12 months.
The video provided by Gizmodo shows a revolutionary multitouch UI. It might be more related to the system Microsoft developed for its Surface computers, rather than Windows 7's built in multitouch.
Whether the mockup described in the video represents an entirely new Microsoft OS or an application running on top of an existing OS will be an interesting clue as to Microsoft's strategy for the tablet market.
Would someone please explain the difference between good old-fashioned corruption and "public-private partnerships" (of the sort that excites Bill Clinton and, apparently, the Obama administration)?
This article and summary missed the most important part of the story. Or, in journalism jargon, they blew the lede.
Google plans to make Fast Flip a new platform for subscription-based news reading. You pay Google a tiny amount (say $.05) for every article that you want to read. Google keeps 30% of that amount, and the remaining 70% goes to the news organization that published the story.
This way, Google thinks, people will pay for news stories again. Because the cost to the reader will be very low, and less of an up-front than a $15.00 per month newspaper subscription. And, you need to only pay one organization for all the news that you can consume: Google.
I'm not convinced that all the data stored on social media will be around in 10 years time, much less 5 years.
Look at the track record: Geocities is being deleted as we speak. Does Friendster have data from 2004 still archived and ready for viewing in 2014? How many thousands of Myspace profiles from early 2009 are already gone?
Data on the internet is inherently temporary. I think maybe a decade from now we'll have accepted this problem and worked out some kind of new data retention solution. Until then, we're throwing away all sorts of records that we used to keep.
Working in archives as a historian in the past five years, I can tell you that email retention is just the tip of the iceburg. Many, many times I spoke with officials who told me that all of the "old" files I needed were "on the website." I was looking for files and forms produced in the 1990s and 2000s. Very frequently, the files were not "on the website" where they should have been. They were overwritten, or lost in a website redesign, or they were never online to begin with. Sometimes, I could find the file I wanted by using the Internet Archive, but more often, the files were simply lost.
I think the period between 1995 and 2015 will be remembered as a dark age for recordkeeping of all kinds.

Whoever modded this +1 Informative, you are awesome. I would +1 Funny your entire life if I could.
The power outage was my idea. You're welcome.

Can you throw a cruise control computer out a window?

whoops 2363. although if they do it in 2063 that will kick ass
That's where they build the Enterprise in 2063! Glad they won't go thirsty.

And now they're going to dump a bunch of E. coli into the Great Lake to... clean it up? What a country! http://www.beyondnuclear.org/storage/fermi_holtec-press_releasejune09.pdf
They want someone to ensure that the WH's use of Youtube and Facebook complies with the Presidential Records act.
Good luck with all of that.
