Opera Web Browser..

.. Is better than FireFox. Yes, It's much better. In my opinion anyway. Everything about Opera is superior to that of FireFox. With FF you need to download a bunch of 'Extensions' for it to even come close to rivaling Opera in features and usability. In fact, a few of the great features within Opera have been made into extensions for FF.

Speed Dail
Mouse Gestures

These are two great features that Opera comes default with while FF you need to download extions for them. Take note that these extensions were not available untill these features were included in Opera. These two features alone increase the useability of Opera so much. Speed Dial has pretty much rendered the home page obsolete by replacing it with 9 mini-home pages. Mouse Gestures are great, hold down right click and drag your mouse down and your are welcomed with a new tab, hold right click and scroll allows you to scroll through your open tabs. There are many, many mouse gestures you can perform to make browsing that much better.

Integrated mail client, integrated feed reader, spell checker, easy access to dictionary and thesaurus (highlight word > right click > dictionary/thesarus), integrated note taker, bookmarks, widgets, skins/themes, history, kiosk browsing ability, voice browsing and many many other features unique and standard in most browsers make Opera a great browsing experience.

FF is almost as ugly as IE6. I think Microsoft have actually made IE7 look superior for FF, it looks like a browser you would find in 1996.. Netscape. Opera comes with style and beauty allowing you to gaze upon it's majestic grace as your browse your favoured websites.

In a nutshell.. Opera rules. FF sucks.

Cell Broadband Engine

The Cell Microprocessor is a Microprocessor developed by Sony, IBM and Toshiba. Development of the Cell started in 2001 with a budget approaching $400 million US.

The Cell contains one power processing element and eight physical SPEs in silicon.

The first major implementation of the Cell was in the Sony Playstation 3 and a few other systems. With the Cell in the PS3 1 SPE is locked out and another is reserved for the OS (Operating System) leaving 6 for gaming.

The application Folding @ Home has been designed for the PS3 to take advantage of the Cell processor and it's power. PS3 users can use the PS3 to fold if they wish. The Cell is more powerful than basically any/if not all desktop processors at the moment so it is a real advantage for F @ H to include it with the PS3.

I can't be bothered writing anymore so click the link below and digest the novel of information that is.
