Good Swedish article about Opera

, , ,

I usually do not just post links to the blog, but this article is worth reading: E24.se: Allt ljus på Opera (Swedish)

–Vi vill köpa ert företag för 100 miljoner kronor, sa företrädaren från Sun.
Jon S. von Tetzchner och Geir Ivarsøy var tysta någon sekund.
–Smickrande, men det är inte till salu, svarade Jon.

Cambridge

, ,

I am part of the Core Technology department within Opera, the department that never releases anything that the user see. We deliver the core to the various platform teams that add a user interface and release things like Opera 9.0 for Windows, Opera 8.6 for Windows Mobile or Symbian OS Series 60.

I normally work out of an office in Oslo, but for this weekend I am visiting Cambridge, together with the reast of the Core Techonology department, where we are having a seminar. Since our team is split over the Oslo and Linköping offices, we do not meet face-to-face that often, so this is a perfect opportunity to get to know our colleagues, old and new. There are a lot of interesting talks being held by members of the group, presenting work we are doing and are going to do. Nothing I can name here, of course.

I have not been able to see much of Cambridge yet, though, but there will be time for that later on, I hope. Cambridge looks like a nice little city. Unfortunately I did forget to bring my digital camera, so I will not be able to take any pictures. Fortunately, since this is a company employing a lot of computer geeks, that means that there is more than one digital camera here. Hopefully that means I will be able to get hold of some photographs later on.

Double denial

Okay, I assume this article will finally stop all rumours about Opera being bought by Microsoft. But then again, we all know who is buying Opera...

Men overfor Aftenposten nekter Ballmer å gå med på at Microsoft er interessert i å kjøpe det norske selskapet.

– For det første vet jeg ikke om de ville være interessert i det, og dessuten ville vel alle klodens regjeringer reagert kraftig om vi gjorde det, smiler Ballmer.

Buying Opera?

I see that it has finally been confirmed who is to buy Opera. Nice to see an end to several weeks of rumours... :lol:
