Opera X screenshot - syncing, more features on the way

Personally, I'm not a heavy Opera user (though I crack it open on occasion to play with the interesting stuff they're always doing), so I'm not spotting any other major features on their way in this new version, but that doesn't mean they aren't there. One thing I do know, however, is that the ability to sync all these things between computers should be a big appeal for those who, like me, are looking for a one-stop solution for an app/browser that can handle all these tasks well. I, for example, am a paid Backpack user, but I'm finding that it doesn't expand well for some uses, in part because 37signals doesn't offer any kind of a search engine for all your notes and lists. Depending on how well these features are implemented and how syncing performs, Opera X could turn out to be another trail-blazing release from the unfortunate and ill-deserved underdog of the browser market.

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.

The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

I spoke spoke with a couple top people at Opera who told me that it's a fake screenshot. There are many issues with this screenshot, the least being that the icon used in the panel is that of Apple (http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/isync/ ), besides I was told that Opera hasn't even decided to call Opera 10 'Opera X'.
You can easily add items to the menu by editing the menu.ini file, as well as creating a panel.
To qoute a top Opera official in the desktop development "it's not even a good fake".
