Earlier this year, I was shocked to learn that development of Opera for iOS was effectively dead. No, this was not just a rumor — an Opera employee told me publicly on Twitter. And so, we here at BetaNews reported the unfortunate news. Luckily, the report of the browser’s demise was short-lived — the company later told me the employee was misinformed. I was dubious, so I took a wait-and-see approach to see just how alive development truly was. Well, today, Opera supplied proof that its popular Mini browser is alive and kicking — a new version! Apparently the company was just waiting for the iPhone 8 before updating the web browser. In a blog post highlighting the upcoming release of a new iPhone, the company shares that the user interface has been refreshed. For instance, there is more use of the “Opera red” color and trending news stories have been bumped to the top of the start page. New features have been added too, such as an enhanced search bar ...

Hurricane Irma made landfall as a maximum-strength Category Five storm late Friday, US forecasters said, after leaving a trail of death and destruction on a string of Caribbean islands. At 0300 GMT, the monster storm had made landfall on the communist island’s Camaguey Archipelago, with the eye of the storm just 190 kilometers (120 miles) east-southeast of the Cuban city of Caibarien, and 300 miles south-southeast of Miami, according to the US National Hurricane Center. It had maximum sustained winds of 260 kilometers per hour and was moving west at 20 kilometers per hour, also posing an increasing threat to the US state of Florida.

Remember Duck Hunt, the arcade shooter that lived on the same NES cartridge as Super Mario Bros? Well, following a 33-year hiatus, this infamous Nintendo shoot-em-up, which came with an official gun-shaped zapper, is making a virtual-reality come back – with a dark, psychopathic twist. Duck Season is an updated version of the original, serving as a throwback to the golden age of 1980s gaming, with "a hint of horror in a Spielburgian universe," the description reads. Its developers, Stress Level Zero, invite players to "re-live" their childhood as they are transported to an eerily familiar memory to play out the "dark story that unfolds." This coming-of-age tale takes place during the Summer of 1988. Your mom just bought you the hottest new duck-shooting game but after hours of playing, it becomes apparent something is off. It has a Stranger Things kinda vibe, and the dog is suspected to be a "serial killer," Engadget reports. Within a "r...

Tourists visiting a church in the picturesque French town of Chateau-Chalon were surprised to discover that local pranksters had replaced the fonts’ holy water with alcohol, the local tourism office said Friday. A dozen tourists sniffed out the telltale signs of eau-de-vie, a clear fruit brandy, when they visited the church in Jura, eastern France, at the end of August. “I made the sign of the cross and it smelt like eau-de-vie. Is this a local tradition?” the tourists asked officials at the nearby visitor centre. The enquiries prompted the authorities to carry out an impromptu investigation. “A litre of brandy had been poured into both of the fonts, you really smelt the alcohol when you walked into the church,” local tourism official Pauline Fisseau said. The church is not regularly used for mass and the fonts are usually empty. The two fonts were immediately drained and cleaned before being filled with more traditional holy water ahead of a festival...

Looking at this car right now, clearly nothing was removed from the body of the car.. It doesn't look dangerous or gangster at all. If anything it looks clumsy to me.. Unless if the rockets and guns on it, work. In that case it's a completely different story

This guy is something else...
