A Splash of Fame

So Opera did it to me again :yes: being an Opera user i got the chance to be interviewed by Li Yuan a news reporter from Wall Street Journal :cool:

She asks a lot of question about why do i like opera mini etc etc, now the article is online as Daniel mentions on =Opera Watch

this is my quote :

"My browsing tends to be on my phone," says Ryan Octavianus, a 22-year-old college student in Bandung, Indonesia. He says it takes about three to six seconds to load a photo-laden Web page from social-networking site Friendster on his Nokia cellphone using the Opera Mini -- much faster than the 30 seconds it takes on his PC at home.

and yes i mention about Opera Community too, i mentioned friendster because currently it's very huge in Indonesia and South East Asia, so the users are a market for Opera.

you can read the articlehere

and another great news that my final project is accepted by my professor :yes: finnaly college days will be over.. I mentioned about this article to my professors too and they're quite ecited :yes: It would excite them more if it mentions that i'm currently a student in theFaculty of Information Technology at Maranatha Christian University :p so i'll just mention it here.

and they say if I need a place for Opera Events i can do it there :yes: not many of my colleague students uses Opera though :(

Thanks Opera! Thanks toThomas Ford for offering the chance at the Choose Operagroup and Opera Community :yes: and Thanks Li Yuan from Wall Street Journal

Yahoo and Microsoft holding hands

Yahoo, Microsoft tie message knot (bbc.co.uk)

Users of the Yahoo and Microsoft instant messaging programs can now contact each other directly.

The two firms have released software that ties the two networks into a huge community of 350 million users.

The trial software allows people to swap text messages but will eventually let people talk to each other too.

The move marks a break with the past when operators of the big instant message systems resisted calls to open up their networks.

Chat channel

AOL, Microsoft and Yahoo operate the largest instant messaging networks and, until recently, anyone wanting to talk to friends using different text chat systems had to maintain several separate accounts.

Users can sign up for the test software via the Yahoo and Microsoft messaging sites. Only those using the latest versions of the IM software will be able to join the trial. Eventually the software will be made available to every user.

The software uniting the two networks will use icons next to people's names to denote whether that person is on the Yahoo or Microsoft system.

"It does make it easier for many consumers who will need to keep one less instant messaging system up and running now," said Jupiter analyst Michael Gartenberg.

The tie-up makes good on a promise the two companies made in late 2005 to get their networks linked.

The trial version of the software is being made available to users of the two networks in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Italy, Korea, Mexico, the Netherlands, Singapore, Spain, Taiwan, Turkey, the UK and US.

Yahoo! blackouts hit IM addicts

source: silicon.com

Some registered Yahoo! users were left without email or instant-messaging capability on Tuesday and Wednesday. While the company acknowledged an early morning outage on Wednesday, some Yahoo! user reports indicated services were also out on Tuesday night in some areas. There were also complaints of Yahoo! Sports Fantasy Baseball being unavailable. Joe Beaulaurier, the blogger for 'The Unofficial Yahoo! Weblog', said: "I've been encountering problems with logging in to Yahoo! last night and again this morning. Sluggish to get into mail, and I have been unable to log in to Messenger at all this morning." The site also received comments from users complaining that Yahoo! did not immediately post a notice about the outage on its main page.

Dead' woman's World Cup wake-up

A 94-year-old declared dead suddenly sprang up and asked when Germany were next playing in the World Cup.

When told she had been declared dead by doctors, Maria Mueller replied: "Not likely, not until I see if Germany wins the World Cup.

"There's still life in these old bones yet, and I certainly couldn't miss the football."

Mrs Mueller had been found slumped over in her chair by son Bernhard Mueller, 66, at their home in Luegde. Neither Bernhard nor a local doctor could find a pulse.

Man hands over wife to pay debt

A Romanian man has handed over his wife to a creditor as payment for his debts.

Emil Iancu, from tIghisu Nou, gave his wife Daniela to 72-year-old Jozef Justien Lostrie when he turned up on his doorstep to collect a £1,800 debt.

Iancu said: "I had no money to pay the debt and when I told Lostrie he said he would take my wife instead.

"I was scared of what he would do and so I signed a document saying Daniela would live with him."

But Daniela says the deal has proved better for her.

"Before I had to clean the house and look after our three children on my own, while Emil did nothing, but now I'm treated like a guest and hardly have to raise a finger," she said.
