Opera X screenshot - syncing, more features on the way
by David Chartier Sep 5th 2006 at 11:55AM
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.
With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.
They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...

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".
