.@computeramerica This Weeks Guest Lineup Monday, March 23rd, 2015!

Monday

Hour one:
VivaldiJon S. von Tetzchner, CEO.

In 1994, two programmers started working on a web browser. Their idea was to make a really fast browser, capable of running on limited hardware, keeping in mind that users are individuals with their own requirements and wishes. Opera was born. Their little piece of software gained traction, our group grew and a community was created. They stayed close to their users and to their roots. They kept improving their software, based on their users feedback, as well as our their ideas on how to make a great browser. They innovated and they strove for excellence.
Fast forward to 2015, the browser they once loved has changed its direction. Sadly, it is no longer serving its community of users and contributors who helped build the browser in the first place. So they came to a natural conclusion:  They must make a new browser.  A browser for themselves and a browser for their friends. A browser that is fast, but also a browser that is rich in functionality, highly flexible and puts the user first. A browser that is made for you:  Vivaldi!
Hour two:
TL;DR, 
Ami Ben-david, CEO
You’re on your morning commute. You’re in a train, presumably. You’ve got minutes to spend — but they’re only minutes. Your stop is approaching fast, yet you want to read the news for today. You launch a couple of the famous news websites on separate tabs, say, on your iPad or iPhone. You see an overload of information. You click a news item. It’s hard to understand the main point. Before you even reach the next news item, you’ve arrived. It’s too late. The news articles are too lengthy. TooLong; and therefore, you Didn’t Read.
TL;DR is here to fix that.
TL;DR gives you the summary, the synopsis, the main contention and the entire idea in one simple paragraph. Enough to get you to skim them. Browse a week’s worth of topics in a few minutes. So you don’t have to say, “Too Long; Didn’t Read”.TL;DR is the news, but faster. TL;DR pulls the news from popular sites. And they have fun while they’re at it.
