No, he didn’t. Once again, him attempting to do a transatlantic swim was also a joke.
Btw, I think Vygantas got it wrong when he said “desktop web browser is now being used by more than 90 million users worldwide.”
Desktop users wont be more than 50 million.

OF course it is a joke. Opera has so little experience in marketing their browser that these crappy articles are all that they come up with. That article spread more lies about Opera than make jokes.

This was published as a press release as well: http://www.opera.com/press/releases/2005/04/21/

You didn’t seriously think he was actually planning to do it?

Also: http://www.opera.com/press/releases/2005/04/01/, http://www.opera.com/press/releases/2007/04/01/, http://www.opera.com/press/releases/2009/04/01/

They are probably talking about 90 million Opera Desktop+Mini users. Desktop recently broke 45 million didn’t it? And Opera Mini reached 40 million or so a while ago. It has probably reached 45 million by now, then.

It’s a joke. No need to get all upset over it.

well.. it was in ‘press releases’ section

it contained some very important to opera information (90mln users) and some claims about its dynamics (that it should grow by the time opera 10.20 launches)

it wasnt released at 1 aprill etc.

so if it is a joke, then these 90 milions DESKTOP users are just pure lie?

for a marketing stunt it wasnt clear enough, for a press release it was obviously cheapest move ever, for a mixture of both..

well, if you mix one outrageus claim with some facts, you get neither press release, neither something funny.

it is a move in right direction (movie was quite good actualy) but still their marketing division uses methods that are a bit old now.

I can’t believe someone is turning this video into a serious discussion. It was meant to be a joke! Srsly.

You’re just stupid. Or you have just absolutely no sense of humor. Or you hate Opera so much, that it doesn’t matter at all, how funny something is, if it’s about Opera.

have anyone from opera was at least one mile close to obama?

Of course they did! The ones with Opera logos (which could be interpreted as “O”bama – in case you didn’t noticed, that’s why he is so important in this matter (not mentioning, that he is the President of the United States… :) ), see: http://www.alexrossart.com/news/2008/obama_full.jpg) are obviously standing next to the cordons, where Obama passed through… :)
