Berlin may be my most bypassed city. In the old days I would either take bus or train the Oslo-Göteborg-Malmö-Sassnitz-Berlin-Dresden-Prague route. Apart from train change I rarely spent much time in Berlin, and the bus wisely took a huge circle around it. So it […]

From our QA department we’ve been told that Opera Mini is the first browser not merely to pass the Acid2 test, but to surpass it. If you haven’t downloaded Opera Mini yet, you should do so now, or try the Opera Mini™ simulator.
