I’m sure you can turn it off.
I love Opera, I’ve used it since version 6, back when it was paid software. Meanwhile, I don’t even have a Facebook account.
I think this is great news. If it boosts Opera’s name recognition and usage? That’s all I want.

Ars Technica creates articles of this calibre on a near weekly basis.

Verge needs to up their game.

It’s definitely what’s stopping me from buying it. It looks awful.

Different strokes. The old one was quirky, but at least could play – this one doesn’t work for me at all.
At least they had a reason for not using YouTube/Vimeo/some other service that actually works last time around. They wanted to go HTML5 presumably. Now they’re just doing it to spite me.

Careful you’ll go blind.

They want the prestige and profit margins that Apple have.

They will never get either, because they fundamentally don’t understand that there is more to electronics than spec sheets.

Not at all.

It looks great, though.

Just one of the many reasons I rip all my DVDs and Blu-Rays to my NAS box.

Oh that’s illegal?

Oh well.

I have the same phone as you.
Gonna move to the HTC One X tho, probably.
In a few months time, after all the build quality issues are ironed out and there’s a real version of Cyanogenmod9 on it.

I’m pretty happy to give up the keyboard tbh. The lack of a number row on the Desire Z annoyed me to no end. I wish there was an onscreen keyboard with a number row :(

LG?

Battery life on the S4 variant is reportedly quite good.

It’s hideous. I was expecting it to be bad, but they managed to, uh, “beat” my expectations.
The only Samsung phone I’ve ever thought looked good was the GNex.
The SII was an improvement over the SI, though, so I expected them to get better at least.
But nope.
Horrible, really horrible. I used to lol at LG phones, but lets be honest – they’re just bland. This, on the other hand is actively offensive.

One unannounced device is going to beat another unannounced device?
What??

The HTC One X is a more compelling device than the Lumias right now. As in, today.
The WP8 Lumia will be great, no doubt.
But so will many other devices launched from now to then. We won’t be talking about ICS, we’ll be talking about Jellybean. Apple could give iOS a complete reinvention. We don’t know.

lol

And when will that drop, exactly? Near the end of the year?
That’s practically a generation away at this pace.
The iPhone5 (or whatever it will be called) will be out by then, for example.

It’s failed many times?
It seems to be working pretty considering there hasn’t been an avian terrorist attack in over a decade.

But by focusing on a specific demographic, you make hijackings more easy for those that do not fall into it.
Could omg, WHITE AMERICAN MALES be motivated to commit a terrorist attack via hijacking?
I don’t see why not.

It can reasonably be inferred.
He certainly didn’t refute it.
