Opera ir mans mīļākais pārlūks un to esmu jau daudzreiz teicis, lai arī citi atvēl laiku jamo ieprovēt.

Šodien vienā diskusijā pacēlās bazars par to un iegūglējot atradu lielisku fīču sarakstu, gadus pirms citiem browseriem! :)
Uzzināju, ka arī CSS izstrādātājs, izrādās ir Operietis :D

the Chief Tecnhnology Officer of Opera, Hakom Wium Lie, is also the creator of CSS

Es laiku pa laikam pameklēju kādu foršu aplikāciju palaidēju.

Launchy is a free cross-platform utility designed to help you forget about your start menu, the icons on your desktop, and even your file manager.

Launchy indexes the programs in your start menu and can launch your documents, project files, folders, and bookmarks with just a few keystrokes!

Visiem vajadzētu zināt, ka izmantot klaviatūru ir krietni vieglāk un ātrāk, lai kaut ko izdarītu, nevis ķert peli, klikšķināties un gaidīt.

Šī ūbervieglā aplikācija pagaidām nereāli ierullē, redzēs, vai vēlāk nevilšos.
Atliek tik uzspiest alt+space (pogas var mainīt) un izlec mazs popups, kurš acumirklī pēc pirmajiem ievadītajiem burtiem vajadzīgo softu.
