The Error Code 5 is a temporary problem which should go away once you close the additional tabs or windows.

There are two common problems that can cause "Error Code 5:"

1. Having multiple browser windows open or multiple tabs open trying to access the same Yahoo! Mail account.
2.  

a. In order to solve issues related to multiple browser windows and tabs open we recommend closing the number of tabs and try limiting access from your other email services.

1. You are accessing the Yahoo! Mail service (via a browser) and other Yahoo! Mail service (such as your mobile phone or Outlook express email service) is trying to access the same account.
2.  

a. Try changing the time interval of the automated checks your mail client makes to you Yahoo! Mail account. This interval should be no less than every 30 minutes in order to prevent server conflict.

b. If you are using a mobile device make sure you do not check your email via the phone and the web simultaneously.

c. Try clearing your internet browser’s Cookies and Cache.

d. While using web client application like Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird, you try and access the mail account via web. Try avoiding this, and open you Yahoo Mail directly from the source link.

If the error continues longer than two hours, and you’ve completed all the steps above, please contact Yahoo! Customer Care by filling out this form.

Opera is going to unveil a version of its mobile web browser (Opera Mini) for the Apple iPhone.

Opera Mobile is the most widely used mobile browser because of its great mobile friendliness and ease of use. Opera currently holds the worldwide mobile browser lead.

Opera Mobile browser is mostly popular among phones that doesn’t support full mobile browsers.

According to Opera, Some of the Opera Mini features are… Opera Mini can be up to 6 times faster on 3G networks. Opera Mini also has plenty of useful functionality, including speed dial, tabbed browsing, etc.

According to Opera, the Opera Mini browser(Opera Mini) for iPhone is up to six times faster than the iPhones native browser, and it also uses advanced compression technology that apparently will reduce bandwidth

According to Opera this compression technology could help users to reduce their browsing bandwidth by up to 90%.

But I believe this is a publicity stunt by Opera to gather attention and focus for its new Opera Mini browser for new generation mobile phones, although Opera expects to get the application approved by Apple, although it hasn’t been submitted to Apple as yet.

Check “Opera Browser Coming To The iPhone” video and you decide.

If you are a geek like me , then I’m pretty sure that you would be using several browsers ( Chrome, Firefox, IE, Safari) to name few. Now, the problem arises when you wish to use chrome or any other browser but your default browser settings open up each link in the same browser. I personally prefer Firefox for Web development and Chrome for normal surfing and social networking websites as it works really fast and fluid.

You can see in above screenshot, how easy it is to select which browser will be used to open a particular link . When you click on a link inside any document it intercepts the request and allows you to choose a particular browser out of the ones that are installed on that system.

Some people will ask what’s the need to change my default browser, well to answer you it’s a straight simple tool to do various operations that you might require, like you wish to  quickly launch separate browser for Work and Entertainment purposes, also web pages that you might have saved directly open in default browser , now if you need firefox extensions or some Activex that runs only in IE, you can easily make your choice.

Just right-click to change your default browser – after that all launched files and urls will open in the selected browser.

I just downloaded Opera 10 beta, on a friend’s advice and I was amazed by the speed and new UI looks, Opera 10 got me  on steroids on Internet with the all new turbo mode . Even dial-up users can surf and cruise the Internet at broadband speeds with pages loading within 3-4 sec.

You can enable Turbo mode via Tools->Quick preferences->Enable Turbo

Another icing on the cake was the new Visual tabs feature .which allows you to navigate

the open tabs in a visually appealing and quickly manner , Just drag down the series of dots below the tab area to see the visual representation.

Rest of the features like Speed dial,Quick notes, Built in Email and chat client and a stylish RSS reader stay the same as in earlier versions of Opera .

Now, the secret behind the Opera turbo mode is nothing but a proxy – client scenario , whenever you have opera turbo on as soon as you type a website URL and press enter Opera contacts it’s Web servers which fetch the page for you on their own ( They have very high speeds over 5-10 Gbps of connection) and then they compress that page  and deliver it to you in shortest possible time, the downside is images might look a bit low quality , but remember my friend speed comes at a price .

I created this Diagram to show how Opera turbo Works , hope it’s easy to understand . If opera had extensions of Firefox then I can surely bet It would had been the best browser on Earth .

Also, i would recommend you to configure Opera turbo by right clicking on it , and set it to Automatic mode to enjoy the best of speed and quality !!

Opera also passes the ACID3 test for browsers with Full Score 100/100 , while Firefox Stuck at 71/100 and  Chrome 78/100 with 1 of the tests failing, this shows that Opera fully conforms to all the latest browser standards, you can have an ACID test of your Browser at ACID Test for Browsers , what came as a shock to me was that Internet Explorer * scored just 20/100 ( Shame .) and Safari was at par with opera with a full 100/100 .
