a poem by my computer, Macintosh Vigilante
Macintosh amends a damned around the requested typewriter. Macintosh urges a scarce design. Macintosh postulates an autobiography. Macintosh tolls the solo variant. Why does a winter audience delay macintosh? The maker tosses macintosh. Beneath female suffers a double scum. How will a rat cube the heavier cricket? Macintosh calls a method. Can macintosh nest opposite the headache? Macintosh ties the wrong fairy. When can macintosh stem the land gang? Female aborts underneath macintosh. Inside macintosh waffles female. Next to macintosh worries a well.

An Opera official outright denied this claim, after I asked about it, saying "Rumors come and go. Google is not buying Opera."

It's just a rumor then

Perhaps there is a bit of truth to this, maybe Google is collaborating with Opera on some project that we don't know about yet. Who knows?

Possibly, perhapps they're just planning to support Oper more.

That's probably why they want to buy Opera, so they can eliminate the competition to Firefox. :D

I've heard people wonder when Google would release a web-browser, but I could never see why Google would want one...

If they did want a browser, Opera would probably be a good buy (and a tough one, probably). They can't buy Firefox. Because they have developers working on Firefox, maybe they'd contribute to Firefox some bits from Opera, or free Opera?

I don't fully get why Google would be so interested in web-browsers.

IYO. Unless you want this to turn into another Firefox versus Opera thread...

Why not just build your own version from the Firefox source?

Be compatible with all the extensions and not cost a cent.

I found this interesting extension for Firefox today.  You right click on a page, and on of the context option is "View this Page in Opera".  Supposed to make it easier to do your web design stuff.

Since we have begun that whole "Firefox vs Opera" thing, I thought I would start a new "Firefox & Opera" thing.
