Opera 10.5 No Longer Fastest Browser
Yes, Opera 10.51 has been released, and is now faster than Google Chrome 5.0xxx. After 10.5 initially being rushed for the browser ballot screen in Europe, some UI fixes and security hole fixes have been added to 10.51. According to Opera, 10.51 is 27% faster in the Peacemaker standards. I've been using it, and so far it seems pretty solid, with a minor speed improvement.
Google China has been shutdown!
After infringing on a lot of laws in China, going to google.cn now redirects you to Google Hong Kong! The Google Hong Kong site is uncensored, and experts say that doing this is a big risk, as China has the largest numbers of internet users

App Reviews
Eliminate Co-Op- Free
Eliminate Co-op is exactly what its name means. You team up with someone and kill waves of rogue battle droids. The battle droids drop loot which are basically items. Overall, Eliminate Co-Op is just Eliminate Pro, with a Co-Op feature.
Rating: 4.5/5
Riddim Ribbon- 2.99
The objective of Riddim Ribbon is to steer a sphere down a "lane/path" of music.The controls of Riddim Ribbon use the accelerometer and are nice and sensitive. You collect pebbles along the way, which allow you to pass checkpoints. If you veer off path, the music becomes distorted, and you may even smash into an obstacle. However, one put off is that the game only comes with 3 songs. More are available for download, but right now, all of the downloadable songs must be paid for.
Rating: 3.5/5
