In that order. There was no show last week due to Thom being busy with work so we had two weeks of news to catch up on. Obviously, Haiku has to be mentioned once more and we are joined by Mike Ferland, an OSnews follower, halfway through the show.

Opera has a niche and has held it for a very long time now. Yes, it has to many features for someone, who wants "just a browser". But those people don't use Opera.
Opera has been the most innovative browser in the last 15 years: tabs, mouse gestures, speed dial, user css all debuted here.
Opera is multifunctional, while having a tiny footprint. This makes it very relevant in markets, where people have to use older PCs.
I think Opera should not go for market share right now. It should cater to its core audience. People that want lots of features and configurability. Maybe they could even return to the paid model they used to have. Making their browser freely available didn't help their market share much.
