Opera Purchase Rumour Control

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Friday December 23, 2005 @01:24AM from the don't-believe-everything-you-read dept.

We've had several submissions this morning concerning a CoolTechZone article stating that Microsoft has purchased Opera, seemingly confirming the Dvorak article we reported on yesterday. However, roblimo has followed up with Opera and found that to be (so far), less than true. Opera PR person Berit Hanson told Slashdot by phone from Oslo, Norway, that "last week it was Google, this week it's Microsoft." She laughed and added, "If I was working for Microsoft I think I'd know it, but I'm still in Oslo, not Washington, still working for Opera." Which, of course, is not to say it won't happen ... it just hasn't happened yet.

I bought a razor for £9 the other day, and a pack of 4 blades was also £9. I can't imagine they're losing money on ANY of it at those prices.

Worst shave of my life too. Ouch.

p.s. Mach 3 Power Nitro has to be one of the worst names for anything, let alone a lowly razor.
