As someone who has some insight into Opera, I can tell you that the wishlist is read, and valid wishes are added to their internal feature tracking list. But Opera has some clear development principles they are pretty clear about (no API for a whole raft of reasons)...

That's got me curious about Opera's business plan. I've always had the impression that Opera has aimed - almost from day one - to be a significant player in the mobile arena. That would mean that the desktop browser becomes the first step for testing out ideas which can be taken into products for mobiles, UMPCs etc. A reasonable assessment? (I'd be petitioning for greater community input for mobile products.)

This isn't such a bad list of partnerships in a highly competitive market ...

PS: If you are curious about the financial reports http://www.opera.com/company/investors/finance/ all income and expenses are listed as TNOK which is in NOK (Norwegian Kroner). Not sure what "T" stands for ... Total / before Tax ? (Norwegian accountants speak up!).

Hi Ralf,

I've seen something, somewhere that does this ... I don't have much time dig around but you could try:

1) search: "data visualization, RAM usage, Intel"
and play the search terms. You might get lucky.
Treemaps are all the rage - another option instead of Ye Olde Pie Charte. ;)

2) Quizz Russinovich  & Co @ the PE forum.

Could be interesting as an add-on.

Would be interested myself to demonstrate to my clients CPU + RAM usage in simple to understand pictures the sins of bad JAVA etc. Wishing you luck.

Another vote for Ace Money - very good for personal finances - not too complex to use, either.

Love Thy Spreadsheet. Aside from the good tips mentioned here, if you can get into the habit of using spreadsheets everyday (for both personal and work income / bills / planning etc) and learn some of the formulas this can really help in awareness of your spending and acknowledging how you use money.

As for soul food, if you are hunting for something that goes a little deeper, I highly recommend:
The Secret Life of Money - Tad Crawford
http://www.amazon.com/Secret-Life-Money-Food-Soul/dp/188055951X

It's one a handful of books which 1) educates about the history and symbolism of money 2) makes you reflect on your own relationship with it and 3) it's well written.

Btw, I don't have a credit card. Only debit cards. It's tough some of the time, but in terms of enforced saving it bloody well works alright! :)
