google and opera what?

Friday, 29. February 2008, 14:29:46

Starting on the first of next month, the widely popular mobile browser Opera will switch from offering Yahoo! to using Google as its default search engine. While Yahoo! has its own relatively sophisticated mobile offerings, the company can't be happy to lose Opera to Google. Update: Yahoo! emailed to tell us that "Yahoo! has elected not to continue its mobile search partnership with Opera at this time." Interesting!

Presumably there's some money changing hands and we can't help but wonder how much. It's Google's payment to Mozilla for being the default search engine in Firefox that makes that browser financially viable.

love, life, valentine

i'd like to get a box of chocolates on monday, august 18th instead...

i like to send flowers as much as i like getting them...

i don't like pink!

i don't need to go to a fancy restaurant to have a romantic dinner...

people who send roses on valentine's day lack imagination...

if i see another cupid or diamond jewelry commercial i'll shoot myself...

i have no clue about what kind of presents guys like to get on a day like this...

shouldn't we show love to those we care about 365 days a year?

second tag was by NatureTruthDivinity

i was told that the rules are as follows:

Post the rules on your blog.

Share six non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself.

Tag six random people at the end of your post by linking to their blogs.

#6 can't stand to touch polyester, it gives me goosebumps

#5 last time i burned anything on a disk was 2 years ago

#4 can't understand why anyone would go through life with a name like "dick"

#3 i don't collect anything but noticed that baskets and boxes are my favorite things not to collect

#2 my favorite sandwich is scrambled eggs, cucumber slices and hot sauce on warm flatbread

and #1 my favorite rule in life is the rule of 3, once for just because, once for why not try again, and once for just in case...
