The new Opera 5 Mini beta mobile web browser is officially out as of today. The major new changes are multi-tabs support and a new user interface. Currently there are two ways to get a hold of it; check out the Market or www.opera.com/mini/next. So, what are you waiting for now?

A picture is worth a thousand words? From the looks of it, yes. There’s not a lot to report here except that Mozilla has posted pics of the Nexus One and Motorola DROID both running Fennec, the mobile Firefox found on the Nokia N900 on their Facebook page. Otherwise there’s no release date mentioned for a public release. The DROID slide by the way is waiting for you after the jump.

Are you jealous of the few people who own a Nokia N900 and are gleefully smiling while using Firefox Mobile (aka Fennec) to browser their useless websites? Well things are about to change. Mozilla’s VP of Mobile, Jay Sullivan, went on to say that Firefox for Android would launch“late this year”. Why not any sooner? Well, Mozilla couldn’t design Firefox on Java, Android’s way of writing apps, but when Google opened up native C/C++ support, Firefox Mobile was all smiles. Now with Android expanding its horizon in the hearts of users, and more browsers headed to Android soon, the browser battle between Firefox Mobile, Skyfire, Dolphin Browser, and the built-in Android browser will heat up.
And I’m totally okay with that. [TechRadar]
TechCrunch is reporting that Facebook is working on a full webmail system that would replace their current messaging platform, including IMAP and POP support with your own username@facebook email address. The codename for this massive project: Project Titan.
According to Arrington in the TechCrunch post, the project has been worked on for some time, which would make their message platform searchable and would Facebook users to send messages to non-Facebook addresses. A great feature indeed. Facebook is also planning to take this even further: yourusername@facebook would be available through Facebook or through POP and IMAP. Now if Facebook can figure out how to block spam then this would be a great idea that would produce further reach into the web with its 400 million users, otherwise this could be an epic fail.

For those of you who use Firefox (who doesn’t and who shouldn’t?) you can start waiting for the next major release — Firefox 3.7, because 3.6 just made its way onto the Web yesterday. Version 3.6 includes Javascript tweaks, faster speed (that I haven’t noticed yet), improved HTML5 video support, meaning that Flash can go away easier than ever, and a new feature called “Personas”, which allows you (the user) to change the browser’s theme with a single click, much like Google’s Chrome. Despite Firefox not having the blazing, blistering speeds of Chrome and Safari, nothing beats Firefox as an all-arounder, so go fetch!
If you have all been Twittering last night you would recongize that Twitter was under attack. According to the group who hacked the popular social media site, they are the ‘Iranian Cyber Army’. This is the message they posted on the main of page Twitter:
Iranian Cyber Army
THIS SITE HAS BEEN HACKED BY IRANIAN CYBER ARMY
iRANiAN.CYBER.ARMY@GMAIL.COM
U.S.A. Think They Controlling And Managing Internet By Their Access, But They Don’t, We Control And Manage Internet By Our Power, So Do Not Try To Stimulation Iranian Peoples To….
NOW WHICH COUNTRY IN EMBARGO LIST? IRAN? USA? WE PUSH THEM IN EMBARGO LIST:)
Take Care.
Now according to the looks of the situation, Twitter was hacked, but on Twitter’s Official Blog, it was merely a DNS hijack. An attack from Iran is something not out of the ordinary because of the anger that was expressed over the 2009 Iranian elections on Twitter. It served as a battleground throughout the whole saga, with even the US goverment making sure that everyone had access to the site.

This was going to eventually happen. It comes to show how interesting the tech world is; you create a top secret password destruction tool for the goverment, then it gets leaked out onto the Web, and then to fight against it, you’re hit by some DECAF created by even more hackers.
I’m talking about Microsoft COFEE, the god-like bypass program for goverments. Recently smart hackers have gotten their paws on COFEE, and distrubuted it. But now, another group of hackers have created DECAF, the also god-like password blocking program, which can beat every one of COFEE’s moves, making it as light as –uh– decaf.

While most blogs are taking the day off, we’re continuing the day’s short supply of news.
GoogleGoogleGoogleGoogle. To some it might sound downright dumb, some strange, and to other people a person with “Google Fan Syndrome”. What it actually means is a new service that lets you make 4 Google searches all at once. You don’t need to open another tab or window. You just need to endlessly scroll up and down to get anything done. Still, it’s not bad, or perfect either.

Thanks to some quick work by the guys at Giz, we are all able to check out the new Google user interface. Just note that it won’t work if you’re logged into your Google Account. Here’s how to see the new Google UI yourself:
- Head to Google.com
- Paste this code into your address bar, but delete the Google URL you entered earlier:
javascript:void(document.cookie=”PREF=ID=20b6e4c2f44943bb:U=4bf292d46faad806:TM=1249677602:LM=1257919388:S=odm0Ys-53ZueXfZG;path=/; domain=.google.com”)
4. Then hit “Enter”.5. Just go to Google.com again, and you should see the new redesign.
