Regretfully, I recently changed over to Google Chrome from Firefox, it was simply because I enjoyed the experience and how quick Chrome was at many aspects of web browsing compared to Firefox. I do still however, have Firefox under my applications menu as a 'secondary' browser. Firefox has certainly be very successful over the years mainly because it was one of the first to boast extensions, nonetheless I don't think web browsers should be chosen based on which add-ons or extensions are available anymore because even Safari 5 now has this support. Here's a useful top 10 list of extensions / add-ons from the folks over at Lifehacker, which all have a range of support for different browsers, some of my personal favourites from the list include Tab cloud, BetterGmail and LastPass. Check out the full list in the source link below.

Technology is rapidly advancing and it seems that we'll see more medical implants in the future that can enhance our medical condition. Today we have one which will allow blind patients to see once again.

There have been medical implants for the blind before, but what's special about this one is that it will allow completely blind patients to recognise letters, words and objects. Retina Implant AG from Reutlingen, Germany is developing this implant in collaboration with Australian, European, and American university teams.

The subretinal electronic chip contains 1500 active microphotodiodes and each microphotodiode has its own amplifier and local stimulation electrode. These microphotodiodes control the electrical impulses that go up to the brain forming a 38 � 40 pixel grid. This chip has already been implanted on three blind patients, and all of them have reported varying levels of vision.

This little chip is only 3mm in diameter and it can do a lot for blind patients, but so far it has produced only black and white image, but we're positive that we'll see improved version this chip in the future.

Opera might be shunned as a browser from time to time, but according to the latest news, we find out that Opera Mobile for Android is almost ready to be launched and that it will feature some enhancements.

We don't have much information about next version of Opera Mobile, but we know that Opera Mobile 10.1 beta will introduce pinch-to-zoom feature. This is much anticipated feature because Android OS supports it, and it's great that we'll get the chance to see pinch-to-zoom in Opera. Besides pinch-to-zoom, we'll get quick loading times, smooth zooming, and scrolling through the webpages. We should also mention that zooming takes few moments to render, due to compression of Opera's software, but luckily, it doesn't take that long. Another interesting feature is the geolocation function that uses phone's GPS to find your location. As for the HTML 5 support, we don't know whether Opera Mobile for Android OS will use it, but we hope to see it.

As for the release date, we should see Opera Mobile for Android available on November 9th, that's tomorrow!

Call recording feature to be available with Gmail? This isn't officially launched yet however, sources do point to this feature currently being tested. If all goes well during the testing period, recording should be made available to all users who have the call phone option enabled in Gmail.

Call recording in Gmail is quite similar to the same feature in Google Voice.

"In order to record your call, simply press 4. You can do it when you first accept a call, or any time after it's started. To stop the recording, press 4 again or hang up. Your recordings are saved online and you can access them just like you do with voicemail." Instead of pressing 4, you click the record button.
