opera, buy, blake ross, shares
...
Blake Ross:If you’re thinking of investing in Opera, please don’t be mislead into believing my post that Opera is buying itself, which Google Finance is currently running on its Opera investment page. Opera is not—I repeat, NOT—purchasing itself. (Digg/Sun, anyone?)
Actually, Opera
could buy back 10% of it's own shares. See item 8 on the
Minutes Of The Annual General Meeting of Opera Software ASA. But with the stock currently valued at 35 NOK, and a maximum agreed price of 20 NOK, this will not happen.
You know what's great about
Google Finance? The Google developers for this site actually made sure it worked in Opera before launch

opera, merlin, weekly, acid2
...
Yesterday, the developers
fixed a couple of issues, and Opera can now pass the Acid 2 test without breaking the rest of the web. So in
todays weekly build, the
smiley has clear eyes. This shows the
steady progress in CSS support in Opera.
But yesterday was also
a sad day. Chaals is a much better writer, I'll let him speak for me. I'll just say it's the end of an era for Opera.

weekly, opera, shortcuts, merlin
Users of the
latest weekly build might notice that using the Shift and Ctrl+Shift modifiers for the 'Enter' keyboard action don't work anymore to open the address in a new tab/new tab in the background.
For those not yet initiated: these are great keyboard shortcuts, they also work when using the bookmarks menu or the Hotclick menu (that pops up after doubleclicking to select text). For me, these modifiers make it possible to enjoy my tabs without having to uncheck 'Reuse current tab' in the Preferences.
Anyway, some changes in Opera made it necessary to add this behavior more explicitly to the predefined keyboard shortcuts. Those who did already make changes to section 'Browser window' will however lack these additions. So they should reset that section to 'default' in the keyboard shortcuts editor, or manually add these two items:
Enter shift Go
Enter ctrl shift Go
