Opera Mini
Spitfire_Sysop 7th Nov 2011
Opera mini is something you should keep around for when you have a slow connection. It is noticibly faster for technological reasons:
"The Opera Mini browser uses only a tenth of the bandwidth of other browsers, compressing webpages by up to 90%"

Opera servers act as a proxy and send a simplified webpage to the device resulting in less bits moved. I have never seen it render a page improperly.

The correct word is "an".

When a "u" word is pronounced as though it begins with a "y" (yoo nique), it's treated more like the consonant sound of the y. So, a university, an umbrella, a usual day, an unusual day.

I just learned the formal rules several months ago from a blog from About.com. English has very strange rules.
