iPhone 3G

May 20, 2009 · Filed Under Hardware · Comment 

I am not so much interested for mobile phones but while searching for smart phones this one blow me away. iPhone 3G!
3G iPhone is smart mobile phone by Apple (is there anyone who did not heard for them). It has that fancy design, so as all Apple products but iPhone 3G have great options and hardware under the skin. It is the advanced version of common iPhone. This phone is coming without keyboard. Actually it have keyboard – virtual keyboard on its screen, sensitive to touch. 2mpx camera is also here. Most interesting function for me is full 802 b/g wifi adapter for internet connection and UMTS or HSDPA 3G standard. His 400 MHz processor is probably strong enough for coffee surf. Also I am wondering how Opera Mini (even if Apple is against this – they prefer that you use Safari) would work on this thing. Read more

Browser wars - Browsers FACEOFF - 2008/2009 - comparison test

naslovna Internet Explorer vs Firefox vs Opera vs Chrome vs Safari

I searched all over the net for latest browser speed comparison test and I did not find anything,  so I decided why not to make test myself.  I already had on my pc, Opera and Firefox so I downloaded latest version of IE7, Chrome and Safari. Since I am big Opera fan and I am using Opera Browser for  over 9 years I thought that Opera will easily blow up opponents just like it did maybe two years ago. However I did not count that Chrome is so blazing fast.  I used few old tests from HowToCreate.co.uk and Java Script tests from CelticKane.com and also I added few of my own… All browsers are tested on same machine Athlon 3800 64bit, Gigabyte M55S-S3 mainboard and 2 gb DDR2 ram and Windows XP with SP2.

Browsers:

Opera 9.63
Firefox 3.0.4
Internet Explorer 7.0.5730.13
Google Chrome 1.0.154.36
Apple Safari 3.2.1

All browsers are tested “out of the box” without any extension or plugin.
This gave significant advantage to Firefox, since it is considerable slower with just couple of extensions. Read more

Opera 9.5

I dont know what to say. Use Opera maybe over 8 years now and this is the first version i dont like, but its easy to change that.
Here are things that I think are very bad:

1. Skin. It is very ugly.
Solution: right click bellow menu bar, click on “Customize” then go to tab “Skin” then “Find more skins” then download Opera Classic Skin probably first one or which ever you like.

2. Status bar at bottom. Personnaly dont use status bar and like that is by default off.
Solution: View -> Toolbars -> Unchek status bar
For all others who does then this location is probably natural, but you can place it
top left right or bottom at
View -> Toolbars -> Chek status bar and select appropriate “Placement” Read more
