Ask DLS: Speculate wildly about how Opera will "Reinvent the Web!"
I've seen some teases in my day, but this one ranks right up there with the best of them. In just a few days, Opera is going to unveil something they claim will reinvent the Web!!!
The image above is pretty much all the information that Opera has provided. Oh, yeah, it might be called Opera Freedom and there's one more cryptic clue buried in the page's source:
There's only one logical thing to do: speculate wildly!!
Give it your best shot, DLSers! What do you think this is all about? How will our web experienced be changed?
Could they have found a way to eliminate annoyances like domain squatting, Rickrolls, and social white noise?

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
