Opera Mini 6 For Iphone, Ipad And Verizon Phones

Mobile browser company Opera is about to vault Verizon's low-cost phones out of the Web stone age, and is bringing a new browser to iPhones, iPads and Android phones. I got some time with the new browser and I'm pretty thrilled. I checked out the "Verizon version" of Opera Mini which was oddly running on an Android phone in Opera's booth, but von Tetzchner assured me that the experience would be similar across many kinds of phones.

It's Opera Mini, which is great: it offers good-looking, true-to-life Web pages that load very quickly (as they're highly compressed), with dynamic zooming that reformats columns of text to be more readable on low-resolution screens. The only change from other Opera versions is a pre-loaded set of Verizon bookmarks. I cannot express to what extent Opera Mini absolutely murders the WAP and Web browsers we've seen on Verizon feature phones so far.

Verizon's lineup has had a mixture of slow, awkward, and difficult-to-use Web browsers. Opera Mini is quick, clean, and clear, with an easy to use address bar, and it renders most desktop pages with gorgeous clarity. The company also showed Opera Mini 6, which will run on the iPad, iPhone, Android phones and various higher-end feature phones. The new version has pinch-to-zoom on devices with multitouch screens, it has tabs which appear as page thumbnails, and it has very smooth scrolling. It works very similarly on all the different kinds of gadgets, which Von Tetzchner said was one of Opera's goals.

This first prototype (2017) is approximately 3 times as fast as the fastest Intel I7 processor. The new chip technology will focus on miniaturisation and on processing power. This hybrid mix ensures that huge processing power comes available in one tiny chip, which makes it able to integrate these chips inside sheet materials like plastics, glass or even metals. The processing power of this chip for a desktop sized computer in 2020 is claimed to be remarkable. It is expected to reach 17 exaflops, which is 150 million times faster as the fastest Intel I7 chip!

That is beyond comprehension, isn't it, This technology enables the possibility to stuff the processing power of at least 10 Iphone-6's on a human hair! Grandpa, who was Gordon Moore, When you're looking for a long term investment goal, this technologies will be a good pick! This graph above is based on the book called "The Singularity" of Ray Kurzweil. Everyone knows (or feels) intuitively that one single chip will never be able to beat all human brains together.

Every intuitive sane person knows that's simply impossible. But it seems hard to prove that he is wrong, since he bases his conclusions on past events and extrapolates them to Walhalla. The author exceeded in his approach the limits of quantum mechanics - the Planck constant. This ultimate border cannot be passed, while you have to pass this to enter the singularity. Nothing material can pass the borders of the Planck constant. Kurzweil's ideas are impossible.

It is sad that so many people actually believe this bullocks. The territory between the Planck constant and 0 (the singularity) is only reserved for the Monad (the Soul). This book contains nice ideas to read, but I would advice to take this not too serious, since they are based on fairytales.

What About the Parallels With Society, There are clear parallels between advancements in chip power and how our society changed. There's a gap between the introduction of a new chip and the actual introduction of affordable devices. The coming 3 to 5 years you won't notice much of the limits that has been reached in the traditional chip industry. But after this period the current technology will become second-rate. The new technology will revolutionize society again at the same rate the semiconductor did the last 50 years. And What About This One,

When you look to the scheme, you'll probably notice that in 1974 the Apple had nothing to do with the (bakelite) telephone, and the telephone had nothing to do with the Volkswagen Golf. In 1999 the fast changing devices became more personal. The phone contained now your contacts, and the laptop your files.

It was possible on a rudimentary level to connect the phone with the laptop and with the car. There was no full integration. In 2014 the fast changing devices became even more personal and closer to your body, like the iWatch. Laptops became faster, smaller, and thinner. It was possible to connect the iWatch with the laptop, and with the car.
