Downloaded the latest build of Opera 9, which is still in the development stages and not ready for public release. Of course, the first page I visited was the Acid2 test page. I was amazed to see that Opera 9 almost passes, if it weren’t for one ridiculous color. Check out the [...]
No. They are not the same. They are completely different, although closely related. Let me explain, for those of you who are unaware.
Before I get into the nitty-gritty details, let’s all begin on a common ground: Windows. No doubt, you use Windows. I don’t care if you have all of [...]

Sony uses anti-piracy software on the disk that installs deep into the Windows operating system after a user accepts the EULA.
