Admittedly, this one's a bit of a snooze, but if you find yourself adding events through Google's Calendar app on Android, you might give a hoot about these tweaks. First up is a new color tool, which lets you highlight specific appointments and change the color of your entire calendar. Judging by the screenshot above, there are two dozen hues up for grabs, so you're bound to find one that's to your liking. There's also a new date and time picker -- functionality hasn't changed much, but it looks different now. More rounded and playful, you might say. There's an analog clock, dials and all, for picking the time, and a fairly basic date listing for choosing the date. You can also select the correct time zone by typing in a city name -- the app takes care of the rest. You'll need Android 4.1 or higher to take advantage, so if you haven't yet pulled the trigger on that new handset purchase, you might want to set a date. Using the boring previous-gen Calendar app, of course.
The all-new browser, dubbed Opera Next 15, was built from scratch with a refreshed design and a slew of new features for a better browsing experience. Opera Next releases, formally known as beta versions, are updated every few weeks, and let you check out the latest enhancements to the browser.
Under the hood, Opera swapped out its own Presto rendering engine for the Chromium engine from Google, which should help webpages load faster "even in the toughest of network conditions," the Oslo, Norway-based browser maker said in a statement.
"Completely rethinking a browser in today's competitive market is a big thing," said Krystian Kolondra, Opera's senior vice president of desktop products. "Our new browser is more beautiful and allows users to harness the massive amount of web content they are faced with today."
Many of the new changes are in line with the browser's recently released Android version.
For starters, the browser has a new user interface, which gives it a more sleek and modern look. In addition, you can now search directly from a newly combined address and search bar. Simply start typing a webpage address to go directly to a site, or enter a search term to look for suggestions.
The browser also boasts a new Discover feature, which serves up articles from around the Web based on categories you're interested in — like news, food, and technology.
There's another new feature called Stash, which lets you mark websites using a heart icon in the address bar. You can use this feature to easily compare items while shopping online, or keep travel research on hotels and flights handy, Opera said.
The popular shortcuts feature Speed Dial has also been revamped, and now allows bookmarks to be gathered in folders and easily filtered. Simply drag and drop one Speed Dial entry on top of another to create a folder, or use the new search field to find a specific webpage you saved.
Meanwhile, based on user feedback, Opera made its mail client a standalone offering so it takes up less memory and space in the browser itself. The company launched a new Opera Mail rerelease candidate, which brings changes to labeling, filtering, threads, and tabs for a "faster and sleeker than ever mail experience."
Valve has introduced a new community discipline program for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive that it calls "Overwatch," designed to let players govern themselves when it comes to problem behavior.
Overwatch will deputize some players as "investigators" (based on stats like wins and hours played), who are then given a replay of a match from a reported player, and asked to rule on whether "the suspect" was cheating, griefing, or if there's "insufficient evidence" to rule. Once a collective verdict is reached, Valve will then determine if a ban needs to be given, and investigators will be rewarded if their judgments all agree.
The process sounds very much like League of Legends' Tribunal program, which Riot Games has been using recently to try and cure that game of toxic player behavior. Valve says the system is currently in beta, and that it will be adding test cases to make sure the program works correctly. Eventually, however, the plan is to make Overwatch completely driven by the community.
