Report on the meeting with the director of Opera Software

I’ll say right away that I just returned from this event and I am still under the influence of the beer that we were treated to, so I can make a bunch of typos, etc.

First, I want to thank Jon von Techner from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to meet with us. It really was very nice. Can you imagine Steve Jobs or Bill Gates to come to Kiev to meet regular users? Me not.

Secondly, Jon von Techner answered any questions, thanks to which the audience had a vision of the company's future plans. He explained well what Opera Unite was conceived for and how it sees its use in the future. In short, one of the main goals of this technology for the future is to provide access to control all devices in your home through a browser in any device (computer at work, mobile phone, browser in a car, etc.), and the other to allow third-party applications to exchange information between computers (synchronize folders, send large files, etc.).
In addition to Yon himself, there were other guests and I really remember the question that was asked of one of them: “Why did it happen that Google had to first write applications for Mozilla, chrome and IE, and then“ tune ”them into opera, although it’s usually“ tinkering ” “Falls under IE?”. The answer was very funny: “I can’t say for sure, but maybe not right now, but exactly 2 years ago, the workers of Mozilla ate at Google’s dining room. they are nearby;) ”.

Thirdly, a bunch of photos were taken (which will be posted on Habré and on operafan.net ) and a bunch of autographed business cards are given away =).
')
PS: If you had questions, write them in the comments and if I heard them at the meeting, I will try to remember the answer to them.
PS 2: I would be grateful if someone urgently throws me in a personal this text without errors. I was too tired and drunk decently;).
