Opera News

A browser for change

Opera just passed 90 million users, and we are celebrating this all over the world. In Oslo, home of the Opera HQ, fans were flooding the streets cheering and celebrating this awesome achievement.

While fans from all over the world were celebrating in Oslo, the President of the United States, Barack Obama landed at Oslo Airport!

We were not surprised seeing Obama appearing in Oslo, especially not since we have seen him appearing in Opera-related situations before. If you like the art, head on over to Art of Obama and buy the awesome t-shirt by Alex Ross.

Luckily, we also managed to grab ahold of a news report from the event. Take a look!

Rafael Luikrafaelluik # Thursday, December 10, 2009 6:07:56 PM

I don't like Obama, he is a flies' killer and won Nobel Prize for nothing.

'I don't like Obama'
'Ditto. I'm a Republican.'

Right on, a 'peace' prize for invasion?

Exactly!

Cutting Spoonhellspork # Monday, December 14, 2009 7:47:10 PM

What, home invasion? Now which Republican went on world tour recently, or was he secretly a democrat just like they say about Palin? Come on, guy's still in his first year. You got "Patriot Act", we get "Health Reform". Or something. If people say Bush II can only be judged on a scale of decades, at least give the new guy until the end of his first term...?

I think this news and the great press release are a nice bit of humor in our tense political climate. I also look like a butt for saying this after rising to the bait.

Obama was not the one who started the invasion, one other thing Obama has a tough time with the two battles as they are a different kind of conflict

the kind of charisma obama has got makes me like him more as the day goes, so humble but noble, i remenber seeing fmr. pre. clinton in africa almost every year, but there was never a trace of george BUSH in afric. so arogant, he only visited "so called" great nations, i think obama's atitiude is not new, cos it is the unique quality of every american pre. frm d democratic party.

itochan # Wednesday, December 16, 2009 3:17:00 AM

Opera wanted to associate itself with a the visit of a head of state. Political discorse would be an inevitable consequence.
