Talking ads? Geez...
I'm getting talking ads in Opera. Here I am happily listening to some music while surfing the web. Then I here somebody talking out of the blue. I turn around in my chair thinking someone came in my room. Nobody. So I turned back to my comp and saw the ad "talking". That's annoying!
 By the way, is that even legal?

This same ad has been showing now for the past half hour. It's been restarting itself ever few minutes.

You know, since all three of us got it (and we just upgraded to 7.02), could the ad have been the update?
[edit]: Hey! It just went away! Yay! That stuck around for about an hour. [editedit]: Dagnabit! It's back

Then I guess it wouldn't help to downgrade to 7.01...

That same ad probably hits all versions since they started using ads on the free version.

I thought they've used ads all along.
Btw, that talking ad hasn't come back since I shut my comp down after the installation. Yay!
