Opera 11.10 includes improved power saving features

Just recently, the Opera 11.10 release candidate was made available for download. It brought a handful of important feature additions -- like HTML5 File API support and IMAP enhancements -- and loads of bugfixes. Nestled in amongst the other details in the Opera team's announcement is one more interesting tidbit: Opera 11.10 offers improved battery optimizations.

The timing here is certainly interesting, what with Microsoft's recent report on how much power the top five Web browsers consume. In its findings, Opera 11 was fairly low in the standings. While we've not seen any new benchmarks yet, we're curious to know whether the Opera 11.10 RC offers any significant gains.

If you're running Opera 11.10 on a laptop, let us know if you're seeing an improvement in your battery life while browsing!

Gorgeous Stainless Steel Ventu Combines Colander and Serving Bowl

The Ventu looks great, like a stainless-steel Armadillo. It also looks really hard to clean

Quirky ? It?s not just a design-by-community site which makes plastic widgets that take almost a year to actually manufacture. It?s also a place where you can find innovative and complex kitchenware.

Today?s product is the lovely-looking Ventu, a combination colander and serving bowl. The stainless steel receptacle is perforated, just like any other strainer, but it also has another bowl below the holes which keeps the one above shut tight. Push down on one of the acacia-wood handles and this section moves away, letting liquids escape.

It is clever, looks gorgeous, and makes meal prep easy: you can drain pasta and sauce it in the same bowl, for example. It also introduces needless complexity.

First, the big sell is convenience. This is true, right up until you wash it, when you will be faced with nooks and crannies into which sauced has seeped. And don?t even think of putting this into the dishwasher, unless you want to shrivel and spoil those wooden handles.

Still, there?s no denying that this would look great in your kitchen, or your dining table, and it costs a very reasonable $55. If you want one, and are prepared to wait a while, then head over and pledge your cash to the cause.

Windows 8 to feature adaptive Aero colorization, get it now on Windows 7

While we've still yet to see anything truly Earth-shattering, the tandem of Rafael Rivera and Paul Thurrott continues to churn out insight about interesting new features they've discovered in Windows 8 milestone 3. The latest discovery is that Aero in Windows 8 will be able to automatically adapt itself to match your current wallpaper image. It's a bit like what Windows 7 already does with your taskbar icons: if a program alert needs your attention, the icon will glow using the predominant color (e.g. Firefox should glow orange).

And yes, you can already make Windows 7 behave this way if you like. Over at CodePlex, there's a little program called Aura that parks itself in your system tray and automatically adjusts your window borders to compliment your wallpaper images. The effect is quite nice, and you can try it out by minimizing your windows and cycling through your theme's wallpapers (right click on your desktop and choose next desktop background).

Hello Expense is a simple, reliable expense tracker for Android

A good mobile application is a fine balance between simplicity and functionality. You're using it on the go, so you don't have a lot of time to sit there and fumble with the phone to figure it all out. But you also need it to be powerful enough to let you do whatever it is you're trying to get done.

Hello Expense is one mobile app that gets it right. It's an expense tracker that lets you use your Android-powered phone to quickly log the money you spend and then analyze it and see where it all went.

I recently had the chance to use it in a real-life situation ? a road trip that took a few days and involved quite a few expenses. Logging each expense took seconds, and at the end of each day I could get a great overview of how much money I spent on each category so far.

Categories and tags are user-configurable; the app also sports its own number pad to make number entry easy, regardless of what keyboard you're using.
