1) Opera 10.10 compatible with Snow Leopard

If you had problems with Opera and IPv6 like I did, making Opera hang while loading pages for up to minutes, the browser company just released a nightly build with the fix. Remember that nightly build is a version that developers publish even though it’s not a safe decision to use it. In the nightly build page, it will say both IPv6 is not working on Mac and Workaround for Bug DSK-263933 (Cannot access Google.com in Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard (IPv6 and slow DNS)), which means this is a workaround. But at least you can reactivate IPv6 on your Mac.

For one, if I hadn’t been using Opera Link, I would just have lost all my bookmarks, this is because I replaced Opera stable with a nightly build. If you’re a bit of a fearless guy like me though (and with some informatics expertise) you should just upgrade to this, instead of using the solution I used.

I’ll keep you updated on when there’s a final solution to this problem.

Opera TV announced

Comes from two days ago the news that Opera is working at a TV system that lets you have a fusion of what you have normally on TV with contents from the internet. Remco, a guy from the Opera IRC channel, mentioned the announcement that was made.

In short, this system, when released, might work in your TV’s software, your console (Wii for one, said Remco), and it has some extra nifty thing like movement recognition so you can just browse the Opera Widgets (these aren’t the old widgets tho, it’s quite refined) with the movement of a hand, or browse whole internet pages, for which even CSS3 was announced. This means then, Opera will soon be a CSS3 browser – finally.

CSS3 means easy transformations, rounded corners the official way, shadows (not sure on this), and many tricks a web developer dreams today. Between, nice accent the guy up here. Also, you can do things like tweet via your remote control.

I’m not sure what one should expect from this new Opera product, there’s been a TON of set-top-box systems to have internet on the TV, and this is back in 2000, and already back then I LAUGHED at those. What Opera must do is not pointing at delivering internet on TV, but at integrating the TV experience with internet. I am not going to tweet from my remote control, that’s for sure, I have a PC for that at home.
Maybe the sound will change with those FullHD televisions they sell now. But maybe, just maybe, maybe it would make a difference if you could tweet what show are you watching.

I really wanna tweet to the world that I’m watching Return Back to the future a 21st time while I am at the TV, seriously.

A note before beginning: you can still have QuickTime 7 on Snow Leopard, you have to insert the Snow Leopard DVD, enter the folder for optional installations and start the installation for optional applications. Then, there, select QuickTime 7 and install it.

Back to QuickTime X. The use is very simple:

1. Download it (it’s just 12kb)
2. Extract it
3. Place the file into the Applications folder
4. Open your MKV file with this app

You can download it directly from here: Plugin for Perian and QT-X (22311)

I’m sorry that I don’t know whom to give credits.
