What are we going to call actual beta web software then? Alpha? But then what would we call Alpha software?
I mean, just because you're still adding features to it, doesn't mean that it has to be called beta, does it?
Also, what I quite don't understand is why they would want to call it beta, I mean, it's not like it's got a good cling to it. It just makes it sound like something unstable and unreliable. Google are tryint o get people to buy the premium version of Gmail. Why would someone want to pay for beta-testing something for someone?
Yahoo! Mail will be able to do that for you as well for $34.95/year. Only problem might be if Microsoft ends up acquiring Yahoo!. You'll end up with a webmail looking like MSN Hotmail.
Well of course you can't just not get aircon units, you're still going to have to install them. But I think the idea is that because you'll use them so much less, you can save a lot of money in terms of cost of electricity and maintenance.
They will be left so far behind.
Apple's safari is already an amazing browser for mobile phones.
I'm sure that Google won't take as long as 2010 to come out with a mobile version of Chrome.
Opera might not be the best browser for mobile phones, but it's pretty decent.
IMHO I think Mozilla needs to get their mobile browser out a little bit earlier than that. Of course it's a good strategy to not release the software until it's ready, but how far behind are they ready to get?
That's true for most of us, especially if what you're doing is rendering and such where you just want to make most use of the power, air cooling and rack space that you're given.
But then again, it usually doesn't take Intel more than a few months before they have a low power version of the previous high end processor.
I must say that over the last few years the power vs. performance has improved significantly.
Even though it will have limitations to make the DVDs playable on a limited number of computers, the fact that the software cost you money and it isn't open source, because this sort of thing usually spawns free alternatives. I mean, it's not really rocket science to make a software that creates DVDs, but inspiration to make easy to use alternatives is needed.

No you can't!!
That's the default "home page", not the default new window/new tab page!
Feels like I'm going crazy here! No one is reading the earlier posts.

Yes. I actually saw that. And that's fair enough I suppose. Maybe that's the way most users will use it.
But personally I'd much prefer it, like you say, in a separate search box.

I've had to point this out a few times on here. Under options, you can change the "home page" which is the page that opens when you open the browser at first or click the home page icon.
What I'm after is to change the page that is displayed if you open a new window or a new tab. Try Ctrl + t or Ctrl + n if you want.
I wouldn't want it to assume it's a.com address as the server would be.com, it would be servername.myowndomain.topdomain.

Dude, you can change it using "Options" > "Home Page".... You totally got bumped for misinformation. 2 seconds with the browser would have revealed this feature.
Thanks Dude.
However, I'm not talking about the "home page". I am talking about if you open a new window or a new tab. That'll take you to that page each time.

Spanner->Options->Basics->Homepage, select "Open this page", and enter the URL you want.
Again, that's only the "homepage", so that's when you click the homepage icon or when you initially start the browser first, if you open a new window or a new tab, it will still keep going back to that page.

Well, I've found where you can change the home page, but that doesn't seem to apply to a new tab or a new window.

You can't seem to change the default new page. For example, open up a new tab and you'll see recently closed tabs and most visited pages. If a collegue wants to use a browser on your computer you might not want him to see a screenshot on your most viewed pages.
The other thing that I personally find a bit annoying is that if you don't put http:/// in front of or / after a url that is within one of your search domains, it automatically assumes that you want to search the web for that, lets say there's a server on your network that you haven't visited before called server1.domain.com and you have domain.com among your search domains, it will go off to google.com and search for server1 if you only type in server1 in the address bar. But then again, maybe that's just me.
We all know that this is not in line with M$. It's more likely that they'll try to find new ways of fighting it.
Unfortunately they will probably succeed quite well too.
Well, yes. But just like you wouldn't swap your iPod battery yourself, you just wouldn't change the battery of your Macbook Air yourself. You'd leave that with your IT department or an Apple genius. It just makes it a bit easier for them or for yourself if you consider yourself to be able to do it yourself I suppose.

I've found this very useful whenever I'm put in front of emacs C-x C-c sudo apt-get -y purge emacs vi
Unfortunately it seems as there still isn't any proper support for using Evolution with Exchange 2007 like SuSE have.
It would be very useful.

The question isn't if there is enough, but if there will ever be a fast and good enough Internet for all the porn that's out there?
True right! It was only their first album that was any good. That one with Wonderwall on it!
