I think this will be the end of edonkey. AFAIK edonkey still uses md4 hashes. If it really is possible to find an md4 collision in a few seconds, I'm sure the MI will soon create a script that randomly downloads files, and reshares a collision.
Opera is a Norwegian company and the patent metioned is a US software patent. Now, can Opera be sued for software patents violation, although software patents aren't allowed (yet) in Europe? Denying inhabitants of the USA to download Opera won't be possible and to remove an offer just because a single country thinks it violates against their laws wouldn't be a solution too (just imagine what would happen if China would get that idea *g*).
I also remember an ad, where they where showing a basket ball team and their managers where talking about the new player, called Linux *g* (at least this advertisement was shown in Germany)
This screenshot really reminds me of QNX:

to compare, here are some QNX shots (sadly they are pretty small)

Both have a sidebar on the right with applications, virtual desktops and slider(s) (not shown on that longhorn screenshot, but on some others) and an application bar on the bottom.

Actually it's not a real black hole, but a "black hole like" object. Maybe it will serve as well
