Tom's Hardware gives Opera some love (and Tips/Tricks)
Tom's Hardware just did a piece on Opera. It's actually a pretty good read, sort of like a little feature showcase. It also give a few little tips, nothing particularly amazing, but there were a couple things that at least got my attention enough for me to try it out.You can check out the article here: http://www.tomsguide.com/us/pictures-story/167-Opera-Browser-Tips.html

Sorry, I didn't realize it had already been posted. I did a search for Tom's Hardware, but it didn't return that thread. This one does have the poll though

It's all because Alexa standings have a lot of imaginary value attached to them right now. The thought is that no one even has to click your ads. If your Alexa rank is high enough, people will pay you just to show their ads on your site. The higher your rank, the more you can charge them.
I imagine that once HTML5 becomes the new standard, Alexa won't work anymore as an accurate ranking system.
