The German Apple page also has a message of condolences with links to the following organizations collecting donations:

Neighbornode: the extensible neighborhood network.
Can you see this coming to your neighborhood?
Neighbornodes are group message boards on wireless nodes, placed in residential areas and open to the public. These nodes transmit signal for around 300 feet, so everyone within that range has access to the board and can read and post to it. This means that with a Neighbornode you can broadcast a message to roughly everyone whose apartment window is within 300 feet of yours (and has line of sight), and they can broadcast messages back to you. Boards are only accessible from computers that go through the local node.
Additionally, Neighbornodes are linked together, making up a node network to enable the passing of news and information on a street-by-street basis throughout the wider community.
With access to your local Neighbornode, you can post messages to your local group board, as well as forward messages to other nodes in your vicinity. These other nodes can in turn forward messages to your node, resulting in a network of neighborhood message boards.
It certainly makes sense to me, but German cities? I’ll hazard a guess: in 5 to 10 years time, maybe.

The RSS Weblog reports on the new Intensified RSS Handling Features of Opera Beta.
A clickable RSS icon will appear in the address bar on sites that offer RSS feeds so you don’t have to look around for the link. You can also add the newsfeeds to Opera’s e-mail client where you can store, sort, search, and find information with a click of the mouse.
While it’s not the only new/impoved feature in Opera, Firefox has certainly blazed the trail in this regard - with Safari following closely. The copy machines must be running hot in Redmond. Ha!
All other considerations aside, I must say though, the developers of the Opera Site have done an excellent job. A pleasure to visit.
Even before listening to it, I just know this going to be a gem.
