You are referring to Opera Mini. Opera has not released Opera Mobile for the blackberry platform, and it doesn't appear that they have plans to.
It's a shame they didn't include Opera Mini in the tests here, it runs on a very large variety of phones since its a Java app. I've been playing with the beta of version 5 and have been quite pleased.

I know this is probably going to be modded as flamebait, but its worth a shot.
Try opera. Opera already has many (if not all) the features you are looking for in firefox extensions. Now that Opera is free (and version 9 tech preview 1 is out) you have no reason to pass it by. Give it a try with an open mind for a week or two, then go back to your firefox extension search if it hasn't changed your mind.
but wouldn't it be amazing if it DID have mod capability? MS has been showing of its new xbox-live stuff, what makes you think it simply couldn't download an HL3 mod? Perhaps MS and valve would team up to release a free compiler for xbox 360 to be used for mods, and the rest of the mod should work the same from PC to Xbox360.
Ok, so maybe its a little far fetched, but hot damn, that would be a reason to buy an xbox. If they can do it with hl3, they could do it with other games, and take a few points away from PC gaming.
Quake 4 is that new expansion pack for Doom 3?
Seriously though, is it necessary that the visual style of the game be exactly like that of D3? Couldn't they have changed the look of the levels, or at least made it look like the characters weren't skinned by the same person?
Extensions are great, but they will always be a problem for the end user. People that read slashdot may have time to customize their browser to the fullest extent by searching for hours for the perfect extension to do the job, but the average person just wont do this. Opera already has all of these features built in and ready to be used, all you need to do is download and install ONE program, ONCE.
Undo Closed Page is one of the best features of Opera. I can't tell you how many times i've accidently closed the wrong page in IE or the wrong tab in FF and cursed myself for it. However, with Opera, you can simply click the trash can and instantly bring back any recently viewed page, as well as its history (IE: you can re-open it and hit back a few times if needed). All of this is deleted when you close the entire browser, so it's not a privacy issue, just a matter of convinence.
The tech support for GB-PVR is very good. I have an avermedia m150 (which only has drivers for WinMCE) running on WinXP, and no other PVR software was able to work correctly (or crashed my system). A quick trip to the GB-PVR forums fixed all my programs, and now I have a fully operational DVR.

Opera 8 Released
·
· Score: 1
I know my bank (wellsfargo) still will not allow Opera, at least as of Opera 8 beta 3 (the version previous to 8.0 final).
or rather, instead of the typical
"University of Casual Sex and Booze"
that we are always labeled as, now we can have something to really look up to!
"University of Computer Skills and Bullshit"
Opera can do that as well. Switch the view from "author mode" to "user mode", then select "emulate text browser". You can also switch to "High Contrast B/W" to make it look as if you are viewing any form of document.
BFD?!
I'm trying to sell my house, we have just spent 4 months and thousands of dollars on it. If "the big one" occurs now, we have just lost literally months of man-hours and 100's of thousands of dollars.
to see Doom III PC there. Also, Halo 2 was only being shown to the press and other extra special people today. Guess I'll just have to stand in line for hl2 again...
Sure, we can put a full foot of copper on our CPU's, but everybody screams and moans when Nvidia builds a cooler that takes up the adjoining PCI slot. Graphics cards are limited with the space they can take up for their cooling solutions, and they certainly pay for that in heat generation.
You keep roomie up all night on computer one night, he gets equal opportunity the next night with his "flavor of the hour". Seems to have worked for me so far

I believe this slide deomnstrates how incedibly innovative this feature is!
FYI: UCSB doesn't start fall quarter for another two weeks. We are still in summer sessions.

Was this not posted just a few days ago?
DOD:S has not yet been released, and no media or details have been released in months.
They said that it would be released this summer as a free add-on, along with the graphical updates to add HDR to source.

I think the solution you are looking for is the common notebook. No, not a notebook computer, like actual pen and paper notebook.

The picture of the screen looks alot like my 3650, which runs Symbian. Is it not safe to assume that the this does as well?
