Opera, the browser of choice for dozens of Internet users worldwide, announced today that they plan to “reinvent the internet” on June 16.
While they were intentionally vague about what their plans actually are, it seemed to interest no one. In fact, the conference call for the event was mostly just the Opera team chiming in “Tom’s here…Carol’s here…is anyone from the press here yet? Anyone?”
They were more successful in spreading the word on Twitter, however, where they were able to contact all 27 people who’ve installed their software. Most were truly excited, and maintained their stance that the “sheeple” out there wouldn’t know a good browser if it fell into their laps.
In a related story, Al Gore has his lawyers investigating whether any legal action can be taken against Opera for planning to change his invention.

Judging by the tone of the email people send me about Mockaholic, there seems to be some confusion as to whether this is a humor site or a serious news site.
