Yo Dawg

, , ,

When we were preparing the Opera 11 beta release earlier this year we kept going back and forth between doig a Spinal Tap reference or a more "Yo Dawg" kind of style. Our initial attempts ended up somewhere in the middle (and was therefore later rejected). Anyway, check it out dawg:

Opera's advertising campaigns really are quite dreadful... Oh well, at least they make up for it with the best browser ever.

Just a coincidence. I was checking some things out on IMDb.com and stumbled upon this. I guess it's just a joke because of the whole "Up to 11" thing that was introduced by the movie "This is Spinal Tap": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_one_goes_to_eleven lol

What advertising campaigns are you talking about, and how is that relevant here?
