What makes these handful engineers take on big guys?
A company in Norway, Opera Software (Pyra Labs) the makers of Opera (the world's fastest browser) has had guts to take on the big guys out there in browser market - Google, Microsoft & Mozilla. I sometimes wonder what makes these guys achieve this?
Internet has ruled out the limitations set up by Geography. I really wonder, whether a group of college going students can come together and take on the search giants like MS/Google and others. If a groups of guys in Norway can build a better and faster browser than anyone else, why can't a group of students, professionals come together and do something similar? This applies to you, your friends, colleagues in your region - no matter where you are located.
Are there any such efforts going on? Are you involved in it? If no, what's stopping you from doing it?
