Thanks for suggestion, bookmarked. :) But since it is beta at moment I am likely to save it for later when it gets to stable release.

“Apple sells stories.
…Apple simply wants
to milk its niche”

Well, at least we concur regarding Apple !

The computer version of ‘designer clothing’
for people with more money than brains.

The haute computing of trendy elitists:
Apple is an image.

I do not think it’s personal. On the contrary I think Google is about logic and highly calculated and cold decisions.

Reputational gain of supporting extra browser engine from day one is not covering development costs. For Google this is no-brainer.

On Apple – I think Google won’t ever get along with it. Google sells results, Apple sells stories. Google is ambitious, Apple simply wants to milk its niche.

“they will ignore Opera
for some months (if not
years)”

Bro. Rat don’t take it personally. How long has the Chrome browser
been out and they ~still~ don’t have a version for the Macintosh !

You get -in a certain sense- that Google is just geek kids playing
around in their garage. They personally like open source, so Apple
and Opera get ignored ! There’s no real business ethic where they’re
out to serve the market as a whole. More like exercising their own
personal predilections …playing favorites in high school.

Well, for me issue came up for Wave and its Opera non-compatibility. :( By the way it is strange that Opera doesn’t have this feature.

Aside from Wave I don’t use any web apps at home except Twitter, but I do use gmail and google reader at work. Should probably try them in separate windows.

By the way I think this trick increases in value as screen space decreases. On 19″ it is merely tidying up, but on 9-11″ netbook this really makes a difference.
