Opera
Opera has always been an innovative company in the browser market. Opera turbo revolutionized the web experience of people on slow connections, especially in places where the connection is shared between many computers, like at a cyber-cafe. But things did not end there. Opera strategically announced a secret release to build a buzz, which came out a few days ago. So what is all about the new Opera, I checked it out, the techarraz way.
Opera unite is an approach to get to the world of cloud computing using just a browser, the much speculated aspect. That way, we can enhance our web experience and connect to our cloud whenever we need to fetch data. The features on offer are interesting and the ones I liked are:
- File sharing: Introducing the true concept of clouds of data, file sharing will make synchronizing data a matter of “switching through tabs”. Put your data on the file sharing and access it anywhere on the fly. You can also share it to a group with the provided URL.
- Media player: Same as file sharing, listen to your songs remotely. Use your computer as a jukebox on the internet, with your own files and no limits.
- Web Server: Being a developer, things become much easier when we get packages integrated. The web server will attract a huge section of the developers society.[ One thing though, I could no get any server sided script running on it. Guess it can serve only HTML and browser scripts at the moment.]
To access all these services, all you need is a one time registration, and then you are free to use all the services. Try it, and be a part of the new web.
Chinmoy Kanjilal is the geek behind Techarraz. This is where he rants about his adventures with technology. Get to know him better, and connect with him on social networks.
Come one.. u being the geeky developer I half expected u to jump onto this and develop services for it yourselves.
[I think the API is open source]
@pallab, well, i am really considering it. Would be more of fun once you get back here. But the thing is really nice. First turbo, then this, it is surely wakeup time for
I dont knw much about opera but only prob i had with it is its ease of usability. I find it heavy n difficult to use as compared to other browsers like firefox n flock.
And to chinmoy there is a small piece of code available for validation of the data in the fields that are necessary so apply it here in the submission form. N if u have done it then change it from alerting on next page to printing it to labels.
BUT nice post anyways!
