We want Unite applications, you want stuff (right?)

, , , ,

This is a teaser for a Unite Apps competition we have recently started.
Prizes will be awarded each week to the developer with the best application. The winner will be determined by a team of Opera employees. Up for grabs are gift certificates to online retailers equal the value of a Nintendo Wii or a brand new mobile phone!

If you want to enter the competition, you don't need to do anything special, just submit the application to unite.opera.com. Read more about it here.

I had the same thing.

"We are sorry, but this page is not available for all countries."

netwolf Tuesday, November 3, 2009 12:37:16 PM

Apparently the .cn is too much, removing it leads to here.

I wonder why I got the notification only today, not already yesterday.

Don't expect your features to be implemented then.

Also the problem you are reporting has nothing to do with Java. And have you tried to validate the source of that page. I don't know if it is related to some extend, but 89 errors in one page are quite a rate I'd say.

Looking deeper into your problem I found this:
if (isNN){imgWin=window.open('about:blank','',optNN);}
if (isIE){imgWin=window.open('about:blank','',optIE);}


Try identifying as Internet explorer wink

I just thought of an incentive rather than a phone or a Nintendo Wii.

A preview desktop build of Presto 2.4 is the incentive idea. Most adults do not care for a Wii and maybe they already have a good phone. I know they don't have 2.4. (If it includes Carakan and Vega is up to you developers.)

I'd even be willing to write an unite app (javascript induces nausea for me, esp the weak typing) if I could win that bigsmile

You don't get a Wii, you get gift certificates of equivalent value.

Now now, maybe you shouldn't try to speak on behalf of other people smile

The Wii is successful because it has reached new audiences, including adults who have never touched a video game console.

I was just trying to be convincing wink

twdarkflame Wednesday, November 11, 2009 12:25:00 AM

Wonder if I have time to do something here.
Perhaps a self-hosting form of my review website, or (if I wanted to make the internet explode), do a mini version of a Google Wave server p

*has a more serious think*


"Most adults do not care for a Wii"

...because they already have one wink
