If they're not broke, don't fix them

Screenshots

Once again, we've been asked by one of our users for an update on the progress of the Opera Community.

As always, we're helpful.
As always, we tell everyone at once.

However, we did have to censor some parts to not reveal too much to competitors.

You will find some shots here:

The rest of the site? Stay put for further updates from the Opera Community teams.

And have fun, watch some movies and be nice to each other :smile:

More leaks...Google, the Evil Empire

Well, I have to admit that you seem to have successfully removed anything that gives away too much to our competitors :-)

If I can't find a movie I want to watch, is it OK if I make something to eat while I am waiting instead?

Censored... Censored... Censored...

Is there actually anything to see in those pics? :left: :eyes:

nicomen 8. August 2005, 15:13

Yup, read the text closely and it will give you many hints.

The seemingly random "dithering" is also the key for decoding the picture and get a full-fledged colour one. This way the really eager fans can decode it and get some freebies while the dumb competition will just scratch their head :wink:

Eating is fine. There is something to see in those pictures, there's even a piece of code, though I'll admit they don't contribute to any kind of understanding of the new Opera Community.

The reason why we can't give you a real screenshot right now is that it would reveal too much. More or less no matter which page we chose. So we tried to make this a bit fun instead. We worked hard to make it fun, too!

<small style="color:white"><small>Or rather, Vetle did, but hey, that's what bosses are for, right? To claim all the credit and distribute complaints? I think so.</small></small>

We had to use some truely old technology to make it to this quality!

Xerox'd!

I don't understand those screenshots..... Too cryptic for me. I think I can see a woman in swimsuit in one of the text images. That's cool! :-D

minisu 8. August 2005, 15:13

I see a women but no swimsuit. Besides, I saw her first! :insane:

Luchio 8. August 2005, 15:13

Hehehe, she's definetly wearing a swimsuit! LOL p:

As you all probably have seen, we published some amazing screenshots of the new MyOpera yesterday. We first printed the pages, censored them, and finally scanned them.

Today we bring you revealing pictures showing one of our security specialists shredding the printed pages to avoid any leaks of sensitive information!

I try-ed some filters but it's not exactly easy to find something :-p

What I discovered :

- The ''noise'' is the same on each page, perhaps and color scheme of some sort? It should be possible to filter it out but that's really hard. Would be cool to see what happens if you lay the noise filters over each other

- Some nice ASCII art

- Try some contrast filters on those images, not much to see with the noise but it makes stuff easier to see.

stephan 8. August 2005, 15:13

The ASCII art was an ASCII thing with Calvin and Hobbes... Not a nice girl -- I don't do that while at work :wink:

And also, not too long till you'll see it all now. Just relax, have a nice time and think about something else. Like the sun, family and listen to some nice music :smile:

Have a nice time!

" not too long till you'll see it all now"
What? You think we're working while you're away!? :coffee: :beer:

stephan 8. August 2005, 15:13

Coffee and beer do not make a nice mix. Believe me, I tried. :wink:
