Is Facebook Going To Buy Opera?

Posted by timothy on from the browser-wars-the-sequel dept.

New submitter x0d writes with this excerpt from the L.A. Times: "The Facebook spending spree may be continuing as a new report says the social networking giant might be looking to buy Norwegian company Opera Software. Now fully under the microscope of Wall Street as well as Main Street investors, Facebook is trying to solve its mobile monetizing problems and has been gobbling up various companies in recent months to increase its presence in the world of smartphones."

    Hmm. On an off topic note, I am starting to think that thing is a bot.

    Might I suggest the /. admins that they employ a simple script that grabs the IP address (and whatever else) whenever someone posts with that text?

    Then post the info to 4-Chan. I hear they have remarkable turn-around times when dealing with objects of sufficient irritation.
