  7. Re:Unfair Comparison on Opera Mini For iPhone Reviewed · · Score: 1

    For smart phones, Opera have Opera Mobile which is an excellent browser. Will the Iphone be able to run it?

    There is a setting in Opera Mini for iPhone that lets you render the web pages in "Mobile view". I have never used Opera Mobile, but perhaps that is the same thing?

    I have to agree with the review, this browser is nearly useless for the iPhone. The way it zooms (or rather, don't zoom) is practically useless. In Safari I can just double tap a picture or text column and it is automatically fitted to the screen, in Opera Mini however there seem to be only two zoom modes, maximum zoom in and maximum zoom out. It's not even possible to zoom freely using the standard pinch zoom. When you have such a small screen it is essential to be able to view the web page content in a way that fits the screen, Opera Mini cannot do that.

    That said, it does seem to have a nice set of features and settings, if they can get the zooming right it could be a very good browser, for now though I'm not gonna bother.

    No no, you don't get it. This story is actually a part of the follow up study.

  9. Re:This is so important ... on French Deputies Want Labels On Photo-Altered Models · · Score: 1

    Are you implying that if there are a set of problems we should just care about the one that is the most severe? Since I don't see how this proposal could make the problem with obesity worse in any way, I just don't understand your reasoning.

    2. (Apparently) it'll only work with a wifi connection, not 3G.

    That is incorrect, Daniel Ek confirmed on twitter that it will work over 2G/3G. Question Response

  11. Re:Nuh-uh. on Music Streaming to Overtake Downloads · · Score: 1

    The market will adapt, more and more devices will have some kind of internet connection. Personally I use my cell for all my "mobile" music listening and with Spotify coming to cells I soon won't have any real need for music files. Spotify has already cut my music file downloading (legal or otherwise) by at least 75%.

    There's no need to donate yet, this is just the first instance, the case will most likely not be completely over for another couple of years.

  13. Re:What's in it for Sony ?... on Sony Pledges More Accurate Laptop Battery Figures · · Score: 1

    Possible. Or could it have anything to do with the cost of support and battery replacement for people who believe their batteries are defect since they do not perform to spec?

    Now, be sure to return next week (especially those semi-sentient programs out there) to tackle the more difficult topic of sarcasm. Ah yes, good luck with that. I am sure you will be very successful.

    Or you could install the FX search engine "Wikipedia (3rd party - Google Lucky)" so you don't have to type "wiki" or "wikipedia" at all (it adds site:wikipedia.org to the search and uses the "I'm feeling lucky" search). Very handy, I use it all the time.

    While I never actually hit the lucky button, I use it indirectly via the FX address bar all the time. It is very useful and often takes me to the right place. And how come the first post could get moderated to +5 I don't know, I find the first result of a google search is the best one more often than not.

  20. Re:ICK. on Transform a Regular LCD Into a Touchscreen · · Score: 2, Interesting

    What you could do is using a dual screen setup, with the touchscreen monitor lying down on the desktop like a piece of paper. Extend the windows desktop over both screens and move the child window with the picture to the touchscreen monitor. That way your hand won't be in the way any more than when you draw/write on a piece of paper, and you don't have to wave your arm in the air.

    Being a fan of SI-prefixes and their correct use I'd rather see a wider adoption of the IEC standard prefixes (MiB etc.) The manufactures may just do it do make their drives seem bigger, but to be honest, they're the ones who's got it right.
