It will become a revolutionary device, when its users realize what is wrong with the planet, 'coz of us blundering bipeds.

I'm not sure that you can accurately equate the mere status of being a business with being accountable. Nokia has proven that repeatedly.
I agree. However since we as a community are not as accountable as a business for what we produce, standards to deliver on concepts are not seen as important as other life issues many of the members have.
As you pointed out, Opera was a hobbyist project. Most of the people here work on projects for fun or to better our community. Kudos to them.

This is what's known as 'ad hominem'.
Attack the man not his argument.

I fail to see what Mexican food has got to do with the debate, are you a climate change denier?
Or perhaps fairly young?

I was making a point to Gerbick about what he pointed was a lack of standards on the brainstorms. I agree with him, but cited that we are in fact a community and not a business which is more likely to have these.
On that note, maybe threads should have standards so we don't speak of mexican food eating bipeds acting out ad hominem.

I would love metrics (measurements) on that. Not how good an idea is - that's way too subjective.

Competing for excellence leads to a better world, competing for status symbols is killing one.

Sorry. I misquoted Gerbick. That is what I was trying to say. To clarify I meant lack of standards for measuring their use/implementation.
I was on a boring phone meeting when I wrote it and did not quite pay attention to what I wrote.
