A metaphor for what? What's the loaded gun?

Who says employees don't have the full picture? The reasons are even stated in public. Why would they be terrified of speaking in public -- and if they are, why are several people …

Actually, look at the Q4 presentation. Operators are less than 20%. Desktop is the second biggest with nearly 30%, while publishing/advertising is the biggest revenue source with m…

What are you talking about? Loaded gun? Are you seriously suggesting that the company is using threats of physical violence to shut former employees up? Who cares about the founder…

Strange how my karma takes a nosedive because I contradict the "evil Opera is doomed" thing...

You are misunderstanding what "using Chromium means." As I replied to cpeterso: Using the Chromium framework doesn't mean that you are using the actual final Chromium UI. The CEO h…

Using the Chromium framework doesn't mean that you are using the actual final Chromium UI. The CEO himself said they're building a new UI.

The story is misleading. 90 people have either left of their own free will or were let go for various reasons. Those 90 were not all developers, but included marketing, sales, and …

So it is not actually out of fear for the current management, then? It's just a general fear of speaking of one's former employer if one was let go? If so, why even mention Opera s…

Your conspiracy theory kind of falls flat on its face, since former employees have in fact spoken publicly on this. What you can gather doesn't seem to be very useful either since …

Have you ever heard about ads?

> Opera was actually strict pro-standard.. sometimes for their own bad. Not quite. They always made every effort to be as compatible as possible with real world sites.

> Opera having low tolerance for that Except that is not true. Opera has a high tolerance, probably much higher than any other browser (out of necessity). But that doesn't help muc…

Why wouldn't they be using Opera anymore? They will be used to Opera, and the brand will be well known to most people. Why do you think Google is desperate to enter these markets r…

StatCounter is a terrible source for anything outside of North America and Western Europe.

You should probably update your stats scripts.
