Opera 10.0 Released, With Integrated Web Server Functionality

Posted by timothy on from the two-way-street dept.

sherl0k writes "Opera 10.0, dubbed Opera Unite, has been released. Built into the Web browser is a full-fledged Web server, complete with nifty little gadgets such as a 'fridge' that people can post notes onto, a chat room, a widget to stream your music library anywhere, and a built-in file-sharing mechanism. It also scores 100/100 on the Acid3 test." Readers fudreporter and TLS point to The Register's report on the new release and a 5-minute video demo, respectively. Update: 06/16 15:18 GMT by T: Roar Lauritzsen of Opera Software writes to point out that "release" isn't quite the right word here; though you can download it, version 10.0 is still in beta, and the version with Unite is a labs (experimental) release.

    You spend less time with a broken browser, and more time enjoying a cold one.

    Dude, necrophilia is wrong.

    Me too. Although I couldn't say /. looks very, very good :-(

    But at least you can say it's rendered properly.

    Unfortunately, it still looks completely out of place.

    It's highly functional. Of course it looks out of place on a Mac.

    Did they just slap a GUI on Emacs?
