“http://www.pallab.frihost.net/blogs/index.php/2005/09/17/big_surprise_coming_up_from_opera#comments”

and how is that possible? I have a very goo theory It’s really, really, REALLY easy, considering, that Opera ASA reads all of the speculation up until the speculation stops(because the comunity runs out of ideas) and THEN they make up something EviL, that no one expects… Pretty simple strategy huh?

I think it said “highly placed source”, not CEO.

Rumors are rampant. Here’s another rumor from the Opera Watch:

Opera Watch Exclusive:Opera is planning on a major overhaul for its desktop browser.According to a source, Opera will release a new version of its desktop browser, which will contain major modifications to the browser’s User Interface (UI). The new version will sport a simpler look.I haven’t seen any screenshots yet, so it’s kind of difficult for me to give a more detailed description.Opera is working on a new and faster rendering engine for the browser, and may include it with next week’s release, though I haven’t confirmed this yet.The new version number will likely be either Opera 8.5 or Opera 9, code named “Merlin”.It is expected to be released by the end of next week.I’ll post more details as they become available to me.Update (9/16 6:32 PM): I don’t want to start rumors about Opera 9, but according to multiple sources, Opera 9 is currently in development and it is no where close to being ready for release. Next week’s release will be Opera 8.5. http://operawatch.blogspot.com/2005/09/major-overhaul-to-opera-browser.html
