In a surprise move to many, mobile browser Opera has thrown struggling Yahoo over in favor of giant Google for its mobile search needs. This does Yahoo no favors in a time when it is being eyed for takeover and sued by its shareholders. According to online pundits, Yahoo didn't see the move coming.
Opera's mobile browser family includes Opera Mobile and Opera Mini. Now Google is the preferred search option that appears on the browsers' home page. In general, this [...]

I have to admit my prejudice against WiiBrowser that started when I first read what they did; without a big, pretty HDTV, I find any and all web browsing from my kids' Nintendo Wii to be kludgy, ugly, and painful. The Wii uses Opera, which only adds to my pain, because the one thing I WOULD allow the kids to do with it online is visit sites like Webkinz World, but the Wii Opera browser doesn't support the latest Flash [...]

This recurring subject of the Windows-Internet Explorer bundle’s anti-competitive behavior, as was recently reported once more by the BBC, is, I must say, a very tired one.
Yes, it is true that Microsoft packages its Internet browser with its operating systems sold both off the shelf and as partially-subsidized software for most new PCs. And no, that is not the ideal scenario other software manufacturers – Mozilla and Opera, to name just a couple – favor. They would, generally [...]

Mozilla, the organization arguably responsible for giving the term browser extension great meaning and prominence in an increasingly Web-centric world, has made known its plans to “revitalize its mobile development efforts,” promising to deliver its first issuance of Firefox Mobile sometime in the not-too-distant future.
Not too distant, meaning sometime after Firefox 3 is offered as an official public release. Firefox 3, for those unaware, has yet to be so much as provided as something for Mozilla’s core of beta testers [...]

I reviewed Clipperz a few months back and was happy to hear that there have been several updates to the service that make it more accessible for a larger audience.
Since my initial review, Clipperz has added language support created by dedicated Clipperz users in Portuguese and Japanese, added support for Internet Explorer and Opera browsers, released a scaled-down version called Clipperz Compact that works with Firefox and Opera to allow direct login to sites from the sidebar, and introduced card [...]

No, this isn’t the biggest news this week in the world of Web 2.0. Yes, there are considerably more momentous items to talk about. With that said, I want to just shelve all the “more important” stuff for a short while, because this bit is just the right mix of geek and cool that it warrants high prioritization on my list of things to mention.
So, what am I speaking of? Google’s debut of Reader for the Nintendo Wii, of course.
Now, [...]

In the third quarter of 2007, a project five years in the making is set to launch. Xcerion, a small Swedish company, has plans to release a free XML-based OS (XIOS) that will run inside a browser. XIOS has an extremely small footprint, with an initial 2 MB download to install. Running in a sandbox, it should be virtually immune to most of the malware created for current operating systems. Such a system would eliminate current OS hardware and software [...]

First there was StumbleUpon. Then came StumbleVideo. And um…that?s about all we?ve got so far. But they?re both enough to occupy countless hours of your time. Spend a few minutes rummaging through the pages Stumbleupon delivers you and you?ll be hooked. The same goes for StumbleVideo, or as it is more widely regarded: Stumble TV.
Stumble TV pulls clips out of the annals of YouTube, Google Video (Both are now one and the same, really) and MySpace video ? whatever that is. [...]
