If NPR says so the it must be true! (or more reasons to use Opera)

While doing my daily reading on Google Reader, I stumbled upon a neat interview by NPR with Opera's CEO Jon Stephenson von Tetzchner. I really love NPR, their music and talk shows, they do a great job in journalism, and this interview is good, too. Check it out up

I am a what?!?!Freerunning Game!

Whether the applications are in separate windows or running in the browser window with the browser Chrome, to me that doesn't matter.


I don't think Jon meant the Google product, but rather the browser menus, toolbars etc smile

Aha, I noticed Chrome to be capitalized, too. I think a person who was writing the transcript of the interview got it wrong. right

Opera does have more features than any other browser.

Ugu! And by the time I try to mimic most of Opera's functionality on Firefox via addons, it becomes sluggish and not very responsive. I could potentially use Maxthon, but I feel it is not as well polished, for some reason...

While I love Opera, I'm a little worried about the peer to peer feature that is coming in vs. 10. I have a dedicated server and I don't want my PC to be one. Also, with RIAA suing everyone, even people who don't have computers, it is highly likely that having peer to peer software on your compute makes you a target. Just some thoughts. The RIAA is out of control, suing every possible warm body they can, collecting settlements from people afraid to fight it. With judgments like the recent one of nearly 2 million dollars for just a few songs, there is good reason to capitulate, I suppose. But darned if I'd do it when I wasn't guilty. You non USA citizens don't have to worry about this. It is mainly just US citizens, thought to have deep pockets and no inclination to fight.

Dear LadyByte, the Unite feature is just like any other Opera feature: if some people find it unnecessary, they are free not to use it (just like M2 or chat, etc.). smile
