Another new build has been released by the Opera team as they continue to prove their dedication to providing wonderful software. The Opera team is nearing a Release Candidate for Opera 9.01 and they are looking for testers.

Here is a list of changes for 9.01 so far:

• Empty spam puts messages in trash again
• Fixes to contenteditable
• Several stability fixes
• Several IMAP fixes
• Open image in mail does now opens in new tab
• Fixed bug where inline error messages opened blank
• Fixed bug where Java Applet did not load when width and height set to 0
• Chat colors (re)fixed
• Search field now shows dropdown when using the down arrow key.
• Fixed bug where Error console constantly appeared by renaming preference from “Console Filter” to “Error Console Filter”
• Filters with huge numbers of mail will now act significantly faster.

You can still download Opera 9 if you don’t want to jump in and be a tester, which is completely understandable. Go Opera!

Just a day after popping up on NaviFirm, Nokia’s Symbian Anna has finally arrived for download, right on schedule. Available for N8, E7, C7 and C6-01 users, the new OS brings a fresh new UI and a virtual portrait QWERTY keypad to Symbian smartphones, along with split-screen messaging, richer maps and speedier browsing. The update also brings NFC capabilities to the C7, in particular, allowing users to share contacts, photos and other goodies by simply tapping their handsets together. If you’re interested in upgrading, you can download Anna using the latest version of Ovi Suite (3.1.1), or with an OTA update, though availability and method of delivery vary from market to market. Find more information in the full PR, after the break.

Virtual desktops are one of those things that have been around for ages, and they have been an integral part of the Linux operating system for a long time. It wasn’t until Apple released Mac OS X Leopard last year that a virtual desktop system, which Apple calls Spaces, shipped with an operating system other than a Linux distribution.

Just because Windows doesn’t include a virtual desktop manager doesn’t mean that you can’t get them. In fact there are several third-party applications that will get the job done, and most of them are free. There’s one free program for Windows called 360Desktop that puts a new spin on virtual desktops.

What it essentially does is extend your desktop so that it is ultra-wide, and it will feel like you have three or four different monitors attached to each other. You can pan across your desktop moving icons and windows around as you so wish. In the end you’ll have a 360 degree desktop that can wrap around from one end to another:

Here are some of the things that I like about the program:

• The navigation window shown in the upper-right corner of the screenshot makes it easy to move around the desktop. Normally the desktop preview portion is minimized so that it doesn’t get in your way while you’re working, but it can be activated by clicking the red 360Desktop icon on the scrollbar.
• It shows little program icons on the desktop preview indicating where you’re running applications are located.
• Clicking an application on the Taskbar will take you to where it’s located on the 360Desktop.

With all of that being said there are still some things that need to be worked on. For example, there are only a handful of panoramic backgrounds currently available, but it will support custom photos soon. 360Desktop is still in the early stages, and I suspect that it will get better over time.

My question to you is whether a program like this is something you’d prefer to use over a real virtual desktop application. Do you like having your virtual desktops separated into different blocks, or is it nicer when it’s one seamless desktop like 360Desktop offers?

When I use Linux I normally choose to use KDE because I like the Start Menu structure a little better. What makes me even happier is that the KDE developers are pondering a redesign of the Start Menu and it should look something like the image to the right.

I like how they make use of tabs which seems to be the hot thing in software lately. The only thing that I wouldn’t like about them is if you have to click in order to switch between them. I would want the ability to hover over one of the options and have it do the switch immediately.

They did mention testing this new menu in openSUSE 10.2 which is currently in the alpha stage. However, I am not sure if it has already been placed in Alpha 3 which was released on August 11. I guess we will find out shortly because I am downloading it!

Yearning for the ideal keyboard to pair with your suddenly revitalized Bondi Blue iMac? Good thing you’ve the patience of Job. Windows users were treated to a K750 solar keyboard of their own last fall, and it’s taken nearly a full year for Logi to crank out a Mac-specific edition. The Wireless Solar Keyboard K750 for Mac features the same amenities as found on the Wintel-favoring variant, but you’ll find this one boasting a standard Mac key layout and a concave key cap design. Naturally, no extra drivers are required to work with your existing Apple rig, and once charged, it’s capable of living it up for at least three solid months in complete darkness. You’ll find onboard solar cells that power the keyboard using ambient light, and prospective buyers will be gifted with four exclusive hues (five in total). It’ll ship in the US and Europe later this month for $59.99, and yes, that 2.4GHz module ensures that no wires will be needed for connectivity.
