Ask Opera CEO Jon von Tetzchner

Opera Software has gotten all kinds of media play lately, including rumors that both Google and Microsoft were buying the company. Whether you love or hate Opera, you've got to give them credit for building a decent browser and grabbing a small but noticeable market share in the face of competition from both MSIE and Firefox. Co-founder/CEO Jon von Tetzchner is obviously reponsible for at least some of this success -- and for much of the company's high press profile, due not only to the Opera Browser itself but to at least one whacky PR stunt and at least one high-profile beef with Microsoft. So who is this guy? Ask and find out. He's obviously not your typical software company CEO, so we don't expect typical CEO-type answers from him. We'll send him (direct, not through a PR person) 10 or 12 of your best questions Friday afternoon (US EST), and run his answers during the first week of 2006.

How do you live with yourself?

As the CEO of Opera, do you have any idea how many inncent men you've put through a night of HELL as we patiently sit through the damn thing in order to get into some chick's pants? OH, sorry. Wrong Opera. (Please don't really send this to him...)

Why would you hate Opera?

Because this is Slashdot where the available options are limited to:

1. Love
2. Hate
3. Cowboy Neal
4. Boobs!

Updated Bork edition?

[Anonymous Coward]

Where is the Bork edition of Opera 8 or Beta 9?

Where did you get the idea for mouse gestures? Brilliant idea!

Norwegian babes

[HonkyLips]

From previous Opera related posts on Slashdot, it has come to my attention that you have some real babes working for you in Norway.
Are any of them single and if so, would they be interested in dating a guy who reads slashdot? BTW I use Safari but I can be persuaded to switch...
