I was minding my own business one day, doing my work, when all of the sudden the Opera web browser appears and wants to download a bitTorent file. I was a bit miffed at both events occurring simultaneously - one, I didn't even know I had Opera on my Mac since I never downloaded it, and two, I didn't know where that file was even coming from! I really didn't know what to think of it, so I did a little searching for Opera to see where it was which came up empty in my search except for a few preference files, so I sort of let it go for the moment. Then it happened again, Opera springs up out of nowhere and starts downloading some torrent! WTF! This time, I click on the dock icon and Show in Finder.

Ahhh - It's part of Bridge, the media management application thats part of their CS products. Much of Bridge connects to the internet for photo searching, photographer directory and administering Version Cue, Adobe's version control software. I wonder why they chose to use Opera - possibly because it runs on Mac/PC's - oddly I've been seeing Opera turn up in alternate places besides a default browser, I finally got to try the Wii which uses a highly modified version of Opera.
