Is there any way you can take the title bar away on the top of the opera browser? I would only like to have tabs on the top and address bar underneath that.

 

I think you can but only 'tards use it like that and well, my mommy I ain't no 'tard, so I don't.

MS got the essentials covered so all of us somehow will keep using their sw (atleast for now). But google is very addictive! At this time I dont thing google and MS are competing, they are on different verticals. Probably they are preparing for an assault on each other in the future (google seems to be a head for this assault with that area covered). Everybody else (other companies) is just a noise for these two giants. If the noise gets loud enough they just end up buying the company that makes the most noise.

 

Coming to me, I think MS is opening up and it is understanding the benefits of developing sw to standards and making the code open. I am always ready to jump the boat to google if MS cannot compete in the open. MS and Google forever!

Wow, that is the biggest difference between you and I then....

 

You have come across as the devote MS boy and then say you will jump ship...

 

During the dotcom days I was working for a US company and while I didn't subscribe to the koolaid and jump around the stage and conference rooms like many of my US counterparts, I supported the company and I was one of the last out and in fact I helped turn off the lights at the london office 4 years after helping build it 3 office buildings before. Loyalty to a company for me is by what you do in the darker hours, not how loud you shout during the good times.

Nope, you are getting the worng end of my comment. If MS dont come out openly releasing the code and not make it easier for other 3rd parties to develop their products (which is detrimental to MS), then I will be jumping the boat (only if google provides a better alternative)! It is a commercial market out there and no place for petty emotions! If the market is taking this direction then we will be left behind if we dont jump the boat which will effectiveky end our business!

No, I disagree with you.... however on reflection your posts do mirror the above statement, it is all commercial.

 

For me? It is passion, if you don't feel about something then why do it, I extend this to my designs and solutions and they usually reflect that. Passion for innovation, passion for delivering a solution which is what the customer wants and not just what a company wants to ship.

 

Why does it have to be google that you'd jump to... what if a little 2 man band come up with the next-best-greatest thing, you'd ignore them because they didn't fit your megacorp idea.

 

Remember, Apple, google, ms... most of them started with 2 guys having passion...
