I was starting to become skeptical as to whether it was possible to have an Aero Glass theme for Firefox much like that of Internet Explorer 7, but there is now proof that it can be done. One top-notch developer took it upon himself to create an extension that would create a fancy eye-catching interface . The result is the Glasser extension.

There's a new app on the block, and it looks as though it may have a very promising future. The open source Spicebird project has its first Alpha release coming up soon, and to tease us they've posted a video of what to expect.

I've got a lot of news to share about Ubuntu, and instead of doing several different posts about it all I thought it would be better to aggregate the info into one convenient article. Prepare your minds for Ubuntu overload!

Launchy is one of the best application launchers available, and it is about to get a lot better with version 2 that is right around the corner.

You can then access them from any number of computers that you have Opera 9.5 installed on.

Late last night Microsoft announced that they had released Silverlight 1.0, and to mark the occasion they also said that Linux support would be coming soon.

Word quickly got around that Opera 9.5 Alpha was making its big debut today, and I think it's time we start our Alpha Addicts Anonymous (AAA) sessions to help cope with our pre-release addictions! The Opera team has delivered on its promise of an early Alpha build for the next major milestone codenamed Kestrel.

We’ve decided to break away from our normal CyberNotes today to take an exclusive look at the features in Opera 9.5 (codename Kestrel). Opera has done a remarkable job of keeping the specs and features of Opera 9.5 under wraps.

Opera is joyfully celebrating the 40th birthday of Jon Von Tetzchner, their founder and CEO. The Register recently interviewed him where he chatted about Opera’s success...particularly in the mobile browser market. As it stands right now Opera has some big releases shipping within the next week!
