Opera 11 browser introduces tab stacking

We all benefit from Internet browser competition, and it has never been greater. With Internet Explorer, FireFox, Opera, Safari, and Chrome all competing for dominance, new features are springing up on a regular basis. The release of the Opera 11 beta has brought out another such innovation. The company has introduced a new way for people to take ADD multitasking to a new level: tab stacking.

Opera was the first browser to introduce tabs a decade or so ago. The innovation allowed people to have multiple webpages open within a single browser window, unclogging the Windows taskbar from years of browser window hell. Opera 11 is introducing stacks, a way to organize tabs. Now by dragging a tab over another tab, you can create a stack (like a stack of paper) of related pages. With a few clicks you can unstack tabs, or visually view what pages are within a stack. Check out the tutorial video below for a look at the new feature.

Bravo Opera. While Google liberated the tab with Chrome, Opera seems to have its head in the right place. Its announced support of extensions should further help make Opera 11 a viable competitor in the browser market. In addition to the Opera 11 beta, Android users can also check out the Opera Mobile 10.1 beta for smartphones.

Do you think stacked tabs will become the next big thing?

I love the MacBook Pro, but this Windows laptop came surprisingly close

There are some great machines in the 15-inch laptop category, which has recently been stretched to include the more common 16-inch laptop. The best among them is the Apple MacBook Pro 16, which offers fast performance for tasks like video editing and the longest battery life.

The Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i 16 is aimed not only at other 16-inch Windows laptops but also at the MacBook Pro 16. It offers many of the same benefits but at a lower price. Can it take a place at the top?

How to set an ‘Out of Office’ message in Microsoft Teams

Person using Windows 11 laptop on their lap by the window.

Many people use Microsoft Teams regularly to communicate with colleagues both inside of the office and remotely. It is considered one of the most efficient ways to ensure you can stay in contact with the people on your team, but what if you need to let people know you’re not readily available? Microsoft Teams has a method for you to set up an "Out of Office" status for your profile to let staff members know when you’ll be gone for the afternoon, for several days on vacation, or for an extended period.
Where do I go to set up my ‘Out of Office’ status for Teams?
It is important to note that your Microsoft Teams and Outlook calendars are synced. This includes your out-of-office status and automatic replies. So, whatever you set up in Microsoft Teams will reflect in Outlook. Similarly, you can set up your out-of-office status in Outlook, and it will be reflected in Teams; however, the former has a more straightforward instruction.

First, you can click on your profile icon in Teams and go directly to Schedule an out of office, as a shortcut. This will take you to the settings area where you can proceed. You can also click the three-dot icon next to your profile icon, then go to Settings > General, then scroll down to the bottom of the page. There, you'll find out-of-office settings and click Schedule.
