Last week, to my extreme excitement, my brand-spanking new Macbook arrived on my doorstep. Since I am attending university this fall, I had to get rid of my iMac because it is simply too large to lug back and forth between Florida and Minnesota. I could have just used my old iBook, but it is slow and outdated, so I opted to purchase a new Macbook and get rid of both my iMac and iBook. Other than the more portable form factor, the Macbooks nowadays are also faster and have better general specs than my old iMac.

When you search for "opera mini iphone" on Google, you get tons of results arguing why Opera Mini is better than the iPhone's Safari web browser. Now, with the introduction of third-party applications for the iPhone, my question is: when will Opera Mini be on the iPhone? Opera's codebase is suppose to be easy to adapt to new platforms, according to Opera Software, as we see with Opera on the Wii for example. I seriously hope that Opera Software is planning on releasing a version of Opera Mini for the iPhone, but I would understand if the…

English, particularly American English, is the de facto language of technology. Awhile back, I posted a thread on a forum asking people what they thought about not being able to use British spelling in CSS, a stylesheet language clearly based on the English language. In reality, it would not be hard to accept text-align: centre or colour: red, but CSS only accepts American spelling. British spellings for colours, such as "grey", are acceptable, but Internet Explorer only accepts American spellings for colours. Of course, no one on the forum…

There is always news of hoopla and drama on the Internet about big cities trying to roll out wireless Internet across their entire city. I guess I figured that city-wide wireless Internet was simply not a reality yet because these news articles always discuss companies not willing to roll out the networks because of high costs. When I was in Minneapolis a few days ago, I was entirely shocked to discover the city is wireless!
Now, my hopes were up for free wireless Internet in the Cities, but alas, the service is not free. You have to …

This morning, having arrived back home from Minnesota just last night, I downloaded the new iPhone 2.0 software update that was released yesterday. Overall, the new update is certainly worth the half-hour it took to download it, especially with the introduction of third-party applications. Personally, I was especially happy to see the introduction of foreign language support, other than the original English, French, German, and Italian (especially, considering that it was only sold in the UK and US, the original mix did not include Spanish). …
