December 24, 200520 yr OSLO, NORWAY– Amidst mounting speculation of an all-out bidding war between Microsoft, Google and the Korean bakery down on 3rd, Opera Software announced today that it inadvertently purchased itself in a $0 million recursive merger set to complete on Monday.“I’m as surprised as everyone else,” said Opera CEO Jon von Tetzchner. “I read the news on http://www.geocities.com/~MiltonsTechWorld192/index.html when I woke up this morning.”“Buying Opera is very Web 2.0,” said Milton, who was studying for a social studies test and could only comment briefly. “It’s like tagging. More companies should try it.”Analysts value the deal at 42 liters of hot air, the estimated net worth of the blogosphere’s journalistic abilities.———-About Opera Software ASAOpera Software ASA is an industry leader in the development of Web browser technology, targeting the desktop, mobile, PDA, home media and vertical markets.

December 25, 200520 yr haha am i the only 1 saying WTF, doesnt opera own itself already , i dont get it lol (rum & egg nog maybe not helping my clarity)
December 25, 200520 yr I don't know for sure what it means, but I think Opera tries to protect itself from being bought by bidding on itself, you can bid on yourself as high as you want because you wont lose any money by doing so, I think it's a tactic to outsmart MS and Google...
