First, we must trust they will not leak the data of "who surfs what".
You are assuming that Opera Software, a Norwegian company in a country with strict privacy laws, even stores any data.
Second, we must trust they will not get hacked and this information stolen.
See above.
Third, we must trust them to be the judge of "good and bad".
Good: Anything. Bad: Phishing site. I fail to see what's so difficult here.
Fourth, we must trust they won't get hacked and their list either modified by adding or removing site.
That goes for all these anti-phishing solutions.
Don't fall into the trap of "Oh it's Opera, of course we trust them". Let me put it this way. If Microsoft announced this, what would your reaction be?
So a company's track record doesn't matter? The fact that Opera already has Opera Mini, where all traffic goes through Opera's servers and everything's just fine and dandy?
Your ISP is as much of a "random company" as Opera Software is. Opera Software is located in Norway, which apparently has extremely strict privacy laws. You also need to consider a company's track record. Opera Software also has the mobile browser Opera Mini which always goes through Opera's servers which do the rendering for the Mini client, and no one has cried foul so far.
Or you can disable the feature. Or you can choose to not trust anyone, and simply disconnect your PC completely because you can't trust anyone (which includes your ISP).
Your ISP can track everything you do. That must mean that they are abusing their position. Why get Opera to track your surfing when your ISP could do so much more efficiently?
You are assuming that "a whole lot of people" actually check the code and submit patches for FOSS projects... My guess is that most testing, even of FOSS software, is done with the compiled program, not by reading the source code.
The main difference between Open Source groups like Mozilla and Microsoft is that (responsible) open source projects will fix potential security bugs whenever they're informed of them and whether or not there is an exploit available, while Microsoft seems to have a habit of holding off on fixing a bug unless the exploit is blatently obvious and/or there is an proof of concept exploit already in existence (and sometimes even in the wild).
Oh please. Microsoft is not the only closed-source browser vendor (or even OS vendor). There are others, such as Opera, who react much more responsibly than Microsoft.
And these males will want consoles which have a lot of brutal violence.
They ALL want that? Wow. Why didn't someone hire you to tell them what everyone wants? You should be rich now, if you have that kind of knowledge. You are a moron. The fact is that people want different things. Claiming that all males above 10 want "los of brutal violence" is simply stupid.
And you are assuming, of course, that all games on Wii will be "kiddie" games. But you are contradicting yourse. As you yourself point out, Wii will have plenty of "non-kiddie" games.
And as an adult male, I can tell you that I've long since grown out of the need to play the games that make me look cool. Heck, is playing games at all considered to be cool?!
If the boys don't want to show weakness, they'll do something else. They will certainly not play games.
As for the price advantage, it is not gone at all.
And comparing the prices in Japan? LOL. The only reason MS has a price that low is because no one wants 360 in the first place.
You are a moron, plain and simple:D

means it may make more sense for you to buy a PS2, Gamecube, or Xbox.
Is this some kind of joke? The wiimote is not available for either of them, and Wii will play GameCube games anyway. Why buy an older system with an old style controller when it's the new possibilities of the wiimote that are exciting?
Your post has a lot of flamebait. For one, Nintendo never "hyped" that they would not lose money on the console itself. They just stated the fact that they wouldn't. How could they? It's their only source of revenue. And in fact, Perrin Kapland stated that they would only just break even to begin with.
Unlike Sony and MS, Nintendo can't afford to lose money like that.
So basically, it would be two controllers and more than $300, or one controller and $250. The latter is clearly better, since you aren't stuck with an extra controller if you don't need one.
Yes, I was disappointed, because I thought it would be $200, but you are just being lame about it.
As for Zelda having "constant issues", that's not what people who tried it hands-on said. The "multiple redesigns" I don't know about, but it's not a big deal. You are just being a troll again.
Wow, so Mario Galaxy doesn't do it for you personally! Yes, that must mean that it will "taper off"!

Like it'll be just a matter of time before the government demands to take a look at your ISP's logs.
Sooo basically, you hate him and think he has no talent because you don't get him, and because you feel that you were insulted by him?
Uh, Opera is not "paid". It has been free as in beer for more than a year.
I cut myself on that awfully sharp knife. Now I shall sue the knife manufacturer.

You are kidding, right? CNN is considered to be big and important outside the US.
Opera is free and without ads these days. Has been for more than a year.
Open or closed source is irrelevant.

Because the 250 MB version actually has significantly worse memory performance?
Your post is nothing but illogical ranting and raving.
Redesign: Finished game? Zelda isn't finished. And changing the controls isn't "redesigning" the whole game.
Prices: Again, you are claiming that people need four controllers. You are talking crap, end of story.
Nintendo stated that they just would break even at $250 at launch.
People praised the Zelda controls from a few days ago.
There are plenty of interesting games on the way for Wii.
Wii is not $400, but $250. Yes, games are $50, but so what?
You are just full of it.
