Opera 7 to be Released for Mac OS X
hoist2k writes "CNET is reporting that Opera 7 is going to be released for Mac OS X. I might have to take advantage of their discount for buying the Mac, Linux, and Windows versions all at once!" Opera 6.02 is slated for release on Thursday (the download page currently has Opera 6.0 for Mac OS and Mac OS X, though it erroneously says it is only for Mac OS). Opera 7 is expected "soon," with no word given in the CNET articles for whether it will be for Mac OS X only.
Amazingly, I'm quite able to restrain my enthusiasm.
I know monoply is bad, yadda yadda...
but, who needs Opera anyway? The rendering quality does not even come close to Safari/khtml, it feeds you with adds and asks you to buy it. How manu people actually use it? Anyone? Hello? No, not the web-developers.... any body else? I thought so.
a.c.
I don't mean to troll, but is it really necessary to develop for OS X? If the team were to put a bit more energy into the windows browser and forget the OSX type, they might get a few more friends. As it is, OS X has enough browsers, we all know we only use two now!
Hold on a second. I'm supposed to give a crap about a browser that has a terrible UI and relatively no Mac support (fucking /Internet Explorer/ is updated more often than Opera, guys)? Opera 6 is easily the worst browser on the Mac (slow, buggy, blah rendering engine), and they had the nerve to threaten to pull out of the Mac market when Apple released Safari and wouldn't use their [Opera's] rendering engine at the core [of Safari]?
... There are better browsers out there. (And for you 9 users, straight-up Mozilla beats Opera with a forked stick.)
Opera doesn't care about the Mac, so why should we use their languishing browser? The Windows and Linux versions may be decent, but the Mac versions have always blown hard.
Mozilla/Camino, Safari, OmniWeb 4.5
Opera: "Hey, Mac users, we've decided to continue to grace your platform with our product. Aren't you grateful?"
Mac users: "Hey, Opera, eat me."

I am a homosexual. I bought an Apple computer because of its well earned reputation for being "the" gay computer. Since I have become an Apple owner, I have been exposed to a whole new world of gay friends. It is really a pleasure to meet and compute with other homos such as myself. I plan on using my new Apple computer as a way to entice and recruit young schoolboys into the homosexual lifestyle; it would be so helpful if you could produce more software which would appeal to young boys. Thanks in advance.
with much gayness,

Thanks for your letter. Being Catholic myself, I know exactly what you're talking about! It has always been our plan here at Apple Computer Inc to revolutionize personal computing with our high-quality and highly gay products.
I'm happy to answer your letter by letting you know that YES we will be releasing an entire hLife ("homo-life") software line. You'll be able to recognize it in stores by the small stylized logo depicting a large cock entering a tight anus with an Apple logo on it. ("Suddenly it all comes together" indeed!).
Anyway, I hope you and other members of our community will join us on our mission, and purchase the exciting new hLife boxed set. Only the boxed set comes with translucent cock rings!
Sincerely,

The way I figure it, Mac users fall into the following three categories:
In a way, you could lump items 1 and 2 together. Homosexuals think they are girls,or at least they want to be one.
