First came the flurry of Obama-Osama malaprops. And now this: E-mailers have been confusing Opera Software, a company that makes Web and mobile browsers, with Oprah Winfrey, the retiring talk show queen.

A post on Opera’s blog commemorated Winfrey’s final TV show by publishing some of the e-mails the Norwegian company has received seeking money, appearances on Oprah’s show, or, in one case, Hannah Montana tickets, CNN reports.

We at MySoCalledGayLife.com will miss Oprah, but we will recommend Opera too (try out the great Norwegian browser).
