The Norwegian publisher has announced the launch of a set of Web Services, Operations Unit, to share, from PC to PC, files (images, documents, music) between users. Other services will follow.

Opera has not made the choice to lock its application only to users of its browser. Indeed, access to Operation Unit is independent of the software. The platform is open and allows any developer to design their own services, not only in the area of file sharing.

In addition, unlike other systems of sharing, it does not need to have storage space online. With Unite, Opera hopes to initiate the creation of new social networks that will be controlled by users themselves and not by others, as is the case with MySpace or Flickr.

The user and retain full control of their data, since they only remain stored on his computer. Available on Windows, Linux, Unix and Mac OS, Opera Unite is currently available in alpha version.

The editor in the coming weeks to add new services to its platform. The first, Jukebox, allows you to select music files and share them, listening with other people. Full details are available from the dedicated website Unite Opera.

Opera is also considering collaborative applications. But unlike Google Spreadsheets, a third party server hosting the data would not be necessary. The new version of Opera browser is now available in beta with a Turbo and an accelerated tabbed browsing journal by displaying thumbnail preview.

Available under Linux OS, Mac and Windows, Opera 10 beta improves one of its major features, the Turbo mode. The latter helps to speed up loading of Web pages when the bandwidth is low.
To do this, Opera filter certain data from the page, such as Flash animations, and compresses the images. Through the optimization of Turbo, the publisher announced it has reduced by two thirds the time of loading.
