Opera 10.51

Feature details
The fastest JavaScript engine ever

A completely new JavaScript engine makes Opera 10.51 run Web applications more smoothly. Up to 8x faster than its predecessor, the new Carakan engine speeds up even the most demanding Web sites.
Easily use search engines

Use different search engines and Web-site searches from the new Search field. You can add custom searches such as Twitter or your favorite news site, look at previous searches or find something on the current page.
 
Beautiful Windows integration

With the Aero Glass effect on Windows 7 and Vista, Opera 10.51 looks better than ever. Enjoy the best Windows 7 integration with Aero Peek, Jump List support and a completely reorganized and easy-to-use menu bar under the new Opera menu.
 
New Opera Widgets

A new platform allows Opera Widgets to move beyond the Web browser and onto your desktop. Multi-process architecture allows each widget to run as a separate process, and they can be debugged with Opera's Dragonfly developer tools. With native OS integration, Opera now lets Web developers easily create widgets that work just like native applications.
A new level of standards compliance

Opera's leading support of Web standards has been further improved. Features from HTML 5 and CSS 3, such as video support and enhanced effects, put more power in the hands of developers. In Opera 10.51, the Web looks better than ever.
Smarter address field

Now it is easier to use your preferred search engine right from the address field. As you type, it shows matching results in your history, bookmarks and even actual content on the pages you have visited. You can even delete pages from your history, right from the results drop-down menu.
Improved dialogs for better browsing
Dialog boxes, such as JavaScript alerts, HTTP notifications and password manager, are now displayed as a page overlay. This allows you to switch tabs or windows while the dialog is still displayed, without any interruption of your browsing.
New Vega graphics library
Everything in Opera 10.51 is drawn on your screen using Opera's new, high-performance graphics library. This enables super fast and smooth graphics for everything from tab switching to animation on Web pages.
New private browsing
Browse without leaving any trace of the Web sites you have visited. Create both private tabs and private windows and plan that surprise vacation, without any worries.
Find what you need in a page
Quickly find what you need on any page. You can fine-tune your search to match all the text, just the whole word, or only the links on the page. To use this feature, select "Find..." from the Opera menu, or use convenient keyboard shortcuts such as [.] (period) for text and [,] (comma) for links.

Napigator

Napigator

If your coming of age to the file sharing world was with Napster, you might appreciate Napigator, which still sports the Napster interface you're familiar with.

Napigator works like a plug-in to Napster. Unlike that program, however, it uses an OpenNap MP3 server, which currently doesn't filter the popular music now banned on the regular Napster service. When you start the program, it launches Napster--adding a "Napigator" button to Napster's interface (the button looks like a little alligator). When you click this button, Napigator will spawn a window in which you choose from dozens of OpenNap servers. Then you use the Napster application's interface to search and download--just as if you were still hooked up to the Napster service.

The only downside: Figuring out which OpenNap server to use can be a bit daunting. Each server is a separate fiefdom, and the only way to figure out which one might have the music you're looking for is to pick a few and search.

If you're sick of the ads, you can buy an ad-free version of the program for $14.99

SpaceTime 3D

SpaceTime 3D is a 3D web browser that will let you effortlessly shuffle from one page to the next in a 3D space

Your regular browser has one window. When you create a new web page, it replaces your old web page and gives you a tab.

But what if you had unlimited space? What if you now had: here, there, and the space between? SpaceTime introduces this "space between" as the 3D Tabbed Browsing.

Just enter your websites in the address line as you normally would and watch as your web pages are individually displayed in a stunning 3D space where you can view all of your web pages at the same time.

It's that easy.

Introducing 3D eBay Search

Just choose "eBay search" from the drop down menu in SpaceTime, type in your search term and go! SpaceTime displays all of your eBay search results in an easy to view elegant 3D arrangement.

The days of mining through pages and pages of tiny thumb-nails in an effort to find the item you are looking for are over. Because SpaceTime has unlimited space, you can display hundreds of items at once to find exactly what you are looking for.

Introducing 3D Image Search

Finding a needle in a hay stack is nearly impossible. But finding a picture in SpaceTime's visual stacks is easy. Now you can search Yahoo! Images and Google Images and take advantage of your computer's high powered graphics and fast broadband connection as SpaceTime displays thousands of images at once.

Enter your search term and SpaceTime displays your search results in their own visual stack. Enter another search and SpaceTime displays your second search results next to your first. Sounds like information converging? Have a look below.

Introducing 3D Web Search

Visit your favorite search engine, type in your search term and you may find yourself spending all afternoon clicking back and forth between a list and the web pages you are looking for.

Not anymore. With SpaceTime's 3D Web Search, you choose your search engine from the drop down menu, type in your search term and enjoy the experience as SpaceTime displays all your search results at once in our patent pending interface.

IRC Clients
HydraIRC Client

HydraIRC is an open-source IRC client with an attractive and easy to use interface. It supports DCC Chat and File transfers, Connecting to Multiple IRC Servers, Docking/Floating Windows, DLL Plugins, Channel Monitoring, Message Logs, Logging, Output Themes, Color Schemes, Buddy Groups, Auto-Connect, One-Click Favorites and more. You can also set up audible notifications for chat events (e.g. when your buddies type something in a channel) and maintain multiple user identities.

HydraIRC is written in C++ using Microsoft Visual Studio .net, for it's GUI it uses Windows Template Library (WTL - which for the techbods out there, is basically just a C++ class wrapper of the Platform SDK). WTL is not bloated and slow like MFC is and requires no external DLL files. WTL is the best way to create lightning fast GUIs in C++. Other IRC clients out there have mainly been written using the ancient Platform SDK (mIRC), with Delphi and MFC which is slow (Bersirc, Klient), with horrible looking cross-platform GUI toolkits or skinning frameworks (savIRC, xChat, roxIRC, Trillian, etc) or look just downright UGLY (TurboIRC, Chocoa, Circle, Leafchat, etc). If you like how Windows looks and like your apps to look like all your other apps, then HydraIRC is for you!

HydraIRC was primarily written to fulfill my IRC client and finicky GUI style preferences, but it just became so good so quick everyone else wanted it too.

CQ Phone

CorMac Technologies Inc. announces the release of CQPhone 1.0, a computer program that enables free worldwide communication using the Internet instead of regular telephone lines. CQPhone is similar to the popular Instant Messenger programs, but it is unique in many ways. This program looks and sounds like a real telephone. You simply dial a number, wait for someone to answer, and begin talking. You have the choice to simultaneously communicate by typing on your keyboard or starting your web cam for live video chat. Digital pictures and web sites may be shared during the call. CQPhone is extremely simple to install and use. Picture sharing is especially popular, now that many families have purchased a digital camera. Some voice programs are like a child's walky-talky; with poor tone, missed words and push-to-talk operation. CQPhone provides outstanding two-way voice clarity. CorMac has optimized the voice engine to provide minimal lag time; even for people who use old computers and slow dialup modems. Users are amazed when they discover the voice quality is much better than a traditional telephone. Every computer that installs CQPhone receives a unique, private phone number. These phone numbers are never made public. You decide who to give your number to. If you wish to meet new friends from around the world, you can open the Random Chat List and call someone who also has this same list open. Your CQPhone number will remain private when you meet people this way. The program runs on any computer that uses Microsoft Windows. An internet connection, speakers and microphone (or headset) are required.

"Offline Browsers"
BackStreet Offline Browser

Welcome to BackStreet Browser for Windows 9x/2000/NT/ME/XP. It is a high-speed, multi-threading website retrieval and viewing program. By making multiple simultaneous server requests, BackStreet can quickly download an entire website including HTML, graphics, Java Applets, sound and other user definable files.

After downloading, all links within the website are reconstructed creating a complete hard drive copy of the site that you can view at your own pace without being connected to the Internet. Additionally, BackStreet provides the option of duplicating the original directory structure of a site making it easy to download and transfer a site to another server. In addition to the embedded quick-view browser window in the main program screen, you can launch your default browser for viewing any downloaded projects.
