hey guys and welcome to this episode of inside tech today we will be taking a first look at the very promising opera 10.5 will also take an in-depth look at what Sony is up to for the ps3 PSN premium let's get this one started the opera 10.5 pre-alpha was recently released and I have had a few days to play with it form an opinion it's good really good a minor bump from 10 to 10.5 doesn't look like much on paper but actually using the browser is a different story this is honestly the only time I've ever been tempted to switch to opera as 10.5 is one of the best browser packages around right now among the changes version 10 is a much cleaner sleeker interface that is strikingly similar to Chrome which is my opinion the current benchmark for clean browser interfaces the tabs are now integrated into the top of the browser removing the top options panel and status bar and hiding them neatly in a red opera drop-down menu which looks much sleeker and frees up quite a bit of valuable screen real estate windows 7 integration is a big part of the upgrade as well as it now incorporates arrow glass throughout the top tab bar as well as to have preview support meaning that individual tab show up the windows of the taskbar as well as jump less support the aesthetic improvements are enough to warrant the 10.5 Monica but the changes are more than skin deep as opera 10.5 now uses a new JavaScript engine known as Kraken opera claims that it's seven times faster than the engine and offer 10 and I can believe the end speed is easily apparently simple day-to-day web browser where offer used to trail behind the pack in city it now runs with the best of it my main browser is not chrome form and after running some informal speed tests between the two it's plain that they are very close speed lines running benchmarks backs this up they seem neck-and-neck through most incensed by der offered 10.5 narrowly edged out chrome for which has a lot considering the chrome run circles around operatin using Mozilla's Dromio JavaScript testes opera also HTM chrome although again by a fairly small margin using Celtic canes JavaScript benchmark chrome 1 by a decent amount 242 to 199 lastly using the v8 benchmark which I will note was compiled by google chrome one by a fair margin as well there might not be a clear winner but that's not a problem offers 10.5 no matter how you test it is leaps and bounds ahead of its predecessor between the addition of a clever private browsing mode that allows you to run private tabs next to standard ones the excellent new interface and the rossby that is enough to bring it up to par with the fastest browser available one thing stands out my mind this shouldn't be called opera 10.5 this should be offered 20 for all the enhancer that they had made you can download and try out opera 10.5 for yourself right now if you're curious the link will be in the description do note that it's a pre-alpha release that's quite prone to crashes and glitches for example widgets don't seem to work very well right now but nothing is broken on me yet so it can't be that bad opera really is looking fantastic and I won't be surprised a bit if this latest released when a good share of new users hey guys jacob from the jailbreak nation welcome with the game is corner now recently there has been armed rumors which could or could not be totally fake that have been servicing lately about a PSN premium service similar to that of xbox live for those of you that don't know PSN stands for PlayStation Network it's totally free online option that comes with the ps3 there's basically the same as xbox live the xbox 360's variant accept that life is a hefty price tag on it so basically the rumors say that supposedly sony has been conducting surveys about what people want to see in a PSN premium service now we all know that Sony's terrible at keeping their secrets just look at the PSP go at e3 but somewhere somehow the results to these surveys got out on it there is a list of features that could or could not appear on a subscription service for PSN some of these features are actually really really cool their stuff like access to beta games full title trial where the first hour for a game is free member only in-game content and online music and movie service and cross game voice chat the list goes on and on now I must say as a ps3 owner some of these things are real needed cross game voice chat would be amazing the xbox 360 has it why doesnt the ps3 access to games and beta testing would also be an incredibly neat feature and so on a music so if you want to for most of all the features listed in the survey you can check them out in a more info section next to this video on the right or if you're watching this on Duncan 3303 annal it should be below according to the survey for a yearly subscription is said to range from 20 to 60 dollars or month to month one for about six to nine but the main question thats only I've been asking is well people buy it will people jump at the option of a ps3 premium service my answer as a ps3 owner i say yes i will definitely go out and buy this the features outlined just seemed too good to turn down if the rumors do seem to come true and soon reveals it I'm sure will be a huge success as good as the current services and before I end my segment guys I'd just like to say merry Christmas to you all and a happy new year I'll see you in the next episode peace and that's it for this episode of inside tech be sure to subscribe to you up to date with all the latest tech news big
