What The?!

Okay, in Sydney you are bound to see a number of weird things. But this one I just couldn't go past. I was walking back from lunch to discover a bicycle with an air refreshener hanging from under the seat. I am pretty sure that you won't be able to find an air refreshener that is strong enough to make a difference if you hang it from under your seat in the open air. If such strong air refresheners exist, someone should inform me and I'll leave the details on the bike the next time I walk past.

GPU for Mobiles

http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=766

NVidia have announced a graphics processor designed for handhelds and mobile phones. It was just under a year ago I saw pictures of prototypes of graphics processors running Quake III, so I'm looking forward to seeing what this thing can do. The processor will handle graphics equivalent to that of the first Playstation, and will also handle encoding/decoding of some of the common video formats.

THE PERFECT BROWSER

http://labs.opera.com/

Okay finally I have a browser I can use. Opera released Preview 2 of version 9.0 on 7th February. It now loads GMail pages correctly and does all the features there. So I'm happy and using Opera.

My final decision is Opera for my browser choice =).
