Submission + - Opera 9.20 Released

The Unix Changelog lists a multitude of upgrades and new features. The most interesting of these, in my opinion, is Speed Dial, which lets you set up to nine default websites in a "number pad" type of arrangement, which will then show up every time a new tab is opened, along with the search bar of your preferred search engine. This allows easier access to frequented sites and searches. Keyboard shortcuts have also been mapped for each Speed Dial entry (Ctrl + 0-9). Of course, if you dislike the new funtionality, Speed Dial can be hidden with the click of a link in the lower right-hand corner of the page. From a day's worth of use, 9.20 seems even snappier than earlier versions, and is probably well worth the upgrade."

Most people have things that they remove from a fresh Windows install every time that they install. Such as services, tools, programs, and others. There are many ways to get settings removed before installing so that you do not have to modify it after every install. One of the ways would be to make a custom install for Windows."

Feed LG announces VW Beetle PMP: colorful, not much storage space (engadget.com)

Volkswagen may have a crush on Apple -- you'll recall the "buy one Fox get one iPod free" iFox promotion -- but it seems that LG is the DAP manufacturer with a little thing for the German automaker, announcing a Beetle-themed PMP at the Seoul Motor Show. Like the efficient little car that inspired it, the unnamed flash player sports front and rear badges, comes in one of three primary colors, and only features enough "trunk space" (2GB or 4GB) for your shorter trips -- road warriors should look for an 8GB luxury vehicle or hard drive-based media SUV. Codec support is lean but adequate, with MP3, WMA, OGG, MPEG-4, and WMV 9 files playable through headphones and/or on the 2.6-inch LCD, resolution unknown. Also a mystery are price, release, and availability, so VW fans will have to continuing getting their fix from the I-Playaz Beetle-shaped DAP speaker or jet-powered bug for the foreseeable future.
