Jon's Power Lunch

, ,

CNBC producers Jim Goldman and Michael Bloom responded to our State of the Mobile Web report to insert a segment on "Mobile Web Usage Surges" during their Power Lunch program. Jon went to their London studio to video into this piece that clearly positioned Opera as the leading mobile browser!

nice :smile:

edit: but the way they are doing that, the noise in the background, the lots of people discussing, the switches between the info-sheets and the people-pictures... annoying :frown:

The interviewers sucked. Apart from not slaughtering Jon's name, they really didn't do much better. Opera would never sell out to Microsoft. Opera has no influence over net neutrality in the USA. The only decent question that was asked was where Opera Mini downloads were coming from, and that was asked by someone who probably types using hunt and peck.

Jon, you did a nice job answering their crappy questions.

DanielHendrycks 31. October 2009, 12:36

I wish interviewers would ask pressing questions like, "Why is there not a public roadmap?".

IceArdor 31. October 2009, 18:10

They didn't know squat about Opera. I'm pretty sure they had no clue about Opera's private roadmap if they didn't even know that Opera is headquartered in Oslo.

DanielHendrycks 31. October 2009, 19:26

That is why I love it when he answered the community questions. The questions weren't basic.

But now they do! any promotion is a plus...
I am sure Jon saw it this way ,
and I give him props for a great job done , he handled things perfectly !
As a European living in America ,
I can tell you that,
things always do take time to be known/accepted here,
but if they do,
they stick for a long term...
This is one more reason,
for all American Opera members to spread the word .........

Why would they ask completely inane and useless question that no one really cares about, especially when it's about the market and finances, not about stuff no one really cares about?

That would perfectly explain why when we had the ability to ask Jon questions a few months ago it had many supporters and almost became a question.

Although that question is not relevant to the show I was talking about all the interviews in general, they basically ask the same questions.

You mean the one where someone promoted his own questions by cheating?

Right.

Just because a tiny minority is wondering about something doesn't mean that business/analyst types care.

People can only vote once. :confused: Please quit accusing Zotlan of cheating. (He was the original requester of that question)

Purdi 5. November 2009, 14:54

It wasn't necessarily him who did the cheating. Someone clearly was cheating, though.
