You can get the new ui in Opera using this: *mail.google.com/gmail?nocheckbrowser
That goes to show that the issue is from google's end , not Opera's.

Plus , firefox is a memory hogger without even adding any extensions.
To get the amount of functionality Opera offers natively , i'd have to add a lot of extensions.

For your information, Firefox does not clog up your system. Opera is a different kind of Browser. It is designed for Mail use and other stuff like chat. The browser also cannot read any websites like yahoo.com.hk(that is my home page!)
Safari is system hogger in Windows but is an awesome browser with the blazing fast speeds.

SAfari has many cool features.
Once, I had caps lock on when i was typing my password to Gmail. It showed me an icon telling me that Caps Lock was on. That saved me some time! And then, I forgot to press send while closing the tab and a dialog box showed up telling me there was a text box with text on the tab. I was really lucky I didn't close that mail or I would have to type it again!

I have no intention of hijacking this thread and speak about Opera and Firefox.

If you still want to argue , please come over to the browser thread.
I always love a good debate , as long as no flames are involved

P.S: You talkin abt this?: yahoo.com.hk

Yes that is the website. As you can see, the box tells you it supports Firefox and Internet Explorer and Firefox and Safari but not Opera. The website is missing many information.

Sorry to bug you about this but…

Which one sounds best?

*img211.imageshack.us/img211/1148/dotmacidconfusionjw9.jpg​

<something else you want to suggest>@mac.com (Subject to availability, of course.)

 

[narangz]

Why triple a? Aaayush@mac.com? Aayush not available?

aryayush sounds better to me from these three.

 

[preshit.net]

The first 'a' might be for his last name.

The Trojan horse, named AppleScript.THT, can log keystrokes, take pictures with the built-in Apple iSight camera, take screenshots, and turn on file sharing. The Trojan horse exploits a recently discovered vulnerability with the Apple Remote Desktop Agent, which allows it to run as root.

arya_aayush@mac.com
It may sound better
Is this a good deal? Macbook Pro lowest end, ipod touch, iwork, Bose Companion 2 speakers, Verbatim Smartdisk Portable hard drive and HP Photosmart Printer C4480? For only $2298 USD? You get a free ipod (actually rebate after buying ipod) if you purchase a mac while you are in college or entering. Availible I think only in the US.

which is better glossy or widescreen?

 

[goobimama]

They are all widescreen displays. Now the question is glossy or matte. I prefer matte, although glossy does make your pictures and such *pop*. I just can't take the reflections.

As for the price, any Mac from the States is reasonable! The prices in India are really spiked up so if you can get a Mac from the US, don't hesitate . International warranty applies...

i am looking to upgrade my laptop by adding one 2 gig chip of ram. how much would tht run me? and what's the best place to buy? i need 667 mhz ddr2 with the lowest latency.

 

[cooldudie3]

do you have to buy the applecare to get the international warranty
and can the macbook pro serve as a home desktop or should I buy something else?

 

[goobimama]

The Macbook Pro is a really fast machine. So if you are comfortable working on a notebook, then yes, definitely it can serve as a desktop replacement. As for warranty, no matter what, it is international. Getting AppleCare Protection Plan only extends it to three years.

 

[aryayush]

Thanks to everyone for the help! I went with ‘aryayush’ after all. What I didn’t know is that .Mac also allows you to create aliases for free which point to the same inbox. If I’d known that, I wouldn’t have registered ‘aayusharya’ and made it an alias instead. Can’t do that now.

Anyway, .Mac is awesome so far. It’s much better than I expected and, now that I’m using it, I realise that it’s just like most other Apple products, in the sense that the only people really hating it are the ones who haven’t given it a shot. I’m pretty sure MobileMe will turn things around though.

MacBook Pro. Awesome.

Enough said.

WTF! LOL!

Good going, man. Congratulations! In case you don’t remember, I’ve lost the bet. You once said that you’d love to be a mod here and I said there was no way they’d let you be one. We had a wager of sorts.

I won’t lie like everyone else on that congratulations thread and say it is well deserved or anything though.

I was wondering what the (crappy looking) green avatar was all about and then I saw the username. I’m literally laughing out here.

Oh, I’m going to have so much fun with this. goobi telling people to stay on topic, not get into OS wars and behave—ha ha! It’s going to be fun.

 

[goobimama]

I distinctly remember it was the other way round. And I think my view on that stays.

And you better watch out, you are one of the first on my ban list

Coming back to topic, I just realised that Facebook has this neat feature for exporting events in iCal format! So when you export any event you are invited to or something, it saves the even in the downloads folder. Just have to click on it and it makes it a proper even in iCal, complete with all the address and phone numbers (just have to tap on it on the iPhone and it calls the number as well ).
