Opera Software Co-Founder Passes Away
worb writes "One of the two founders of Opera Software, Geir Ivarsoy, recently passed away after a long battle with cancer. His funeral yesterday was attended by Opera employees who paid their last respects to their former lead programmer. While Opera hasn't had the same success as Firefox on the desktop, it has had considerable success in the mobile phone market due to its speed and small footprint, combined with excellent standards compliance and innovative features."

Yes, but will it be in time for HD-DVD?
As a Finn I must totally disagree. I find it extremely annoying when people misspell names or pronounce them completely wrong. It is not so difficult to use the correct spelling and to find out how the name is pronounced.
I find it extremely arrogant and self centered for English speaking people to totally ignore the rest of the world. I think that most of the problems we have nowadays with multiple character sets and other internationalization/localization issues could have been avoided without the "English alphabet is enough for everyone!"-mentality.
