google and opera what?

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.

advice, opera, friends, family ...

my sis just moved into a new place and she's feeling a bit down and overwhelmed, so i thought i'd make her a cd she can listen to while unpacking and organizing stuff... well that's all nice and dandy right? right... except she requested an uplifting and a cheerful one... hmm... let's see what i got... the doors, the cure, kmfdm, nitzer ebb? i don't think so... i can't send her the sound of music!!!! that's way too lame, even for me.... so... any cheerful and uplifting suggestions from my opera friends?
