c'mon joey. time after time i try to have a decent conversation with you, and time after time you end up making me regret it... *** joey said:
So, your evidence that "no one" was using Opera is that some handful of blogs which you've personally polled indicated that Opera was less than 0.01% of their traffic? Exactly which sites did you include in your survey? What was the standard deviation?
dude. don't be stupid. there are organizations that track browser statistics on a world-wide basis, and they post their results for everyone to see. this ain't rocket-science. it's easy enough to google the results.
Perhaps you mean that, in general, Opera is considered to only hold ~2% of the overall browser market? But that's a meaningless comparison in this context - the mobile browser market, even with your beloved iPhones out there in the wild for 2+ years, the best numbers I can find indicate that iPhone browsing is estimated a only 0.08 percent of all browsing activity worldwide. What a sea-change indeed!
at&t has come out and said that iphone browsing is bursting the seams of their network. what more evidence do we need? do you guys live in a box?
Or is it perhaps simply that YOUR social group (assuming anyone willing socializes with you)
i see. now we start the direct ad hominem process.
has finally joined the rest of the world and started using a computer more modern than your ancient Macintosh
my ancient macintosh? i'm running a nice macbook, mac os 10.5, with a 24-inch cinema screen, dude... i'm not sure who's feeding you your information, but you might want to do some fact-checking before you embarrass yourself...
that you're using to build the vaporware ZML viewer/editor?
oops... too late... you already embarrassed yourself... that "vaporware" you're talking about was up years ago. nobody seemed to care. do you think i should push it? whatever the case, you're on notice. make the conversation worthwhile, joey, or i'm gonna stop talking to you... again... -bowerbird
