Ordinarily I would dismiss it as a PR stunt and one of those because-it-can tech demonstrations that doesn’t have a real-world use but given our current socioeconopolitical climate we might just need personal servers to communicate the way dissidents in Iran need Twitter right now.

We have Opera on our Wii.
I would like it if it could support Flash.

I'm still waking up I guess, at first I thought the headline was
'Oprah lets browser be used as a server' and I thought 'omg, is she going to tell us she's a tech guru next?'
I need coffee.

If browsers are downloaded free, how do companies like Opera generate sales?

I poked around. No https. Your letting Opera know what files you’re making available.
I’ll pass.

Opera CEO Jon von Tetzchner called it a giant leap in the Internet, dubbing it Web 5.0. Oh, fer cryin' out loud. Can't people stop with the hyperbole for even a minute? "Web 5.0" my arse -- it's a freakin' browser. Next he'll call it a "Paradigm Shift". Can somebody tell him that P2P is old hat?
> "We're enabling every single user, every single computer to be a two-way street on the Internet," he said in a Webcast. "Every device can share information."
A colossally BAD idea, in the hands of regular users.
There's a reason SERVERS are built and run and administered differently from HOME COMPUTERS.
I got nothing against Opera, but this is not a good development.

Oh, and so much for Opera ever being taken seriously by the business computer marketplace. Every employee notebook and desktop becoming a security hole?
Not while I or any SysAdmin I know are on the job. We have enough security issues to deal with already.
