I'm not sure if anyone else saw this, but in their new client opera added some webserver functionality for filesharing purposes. I have not tried it yet, but it looks kind of neat. If nothing else I think it is a neat idea, then again opera was already my favorite browser.

Yup. I like the Opera live feature myself. Now my bookmarks follow me everywhere

Wish I could do that with my wand data too *sigh

Unfortuantly I don't think the feature will catch on on a large scale until another browser adopts it as while opera always seems ahead of the curve on innovation, they are one of the smallest browsers market share wise.

I still think every browser should support mouse gestures, but IE and chrome don't, and firefox has a plugin that works okay at best >.<

I tried the beta, and it was very unreliable. That was several months ago though, and it may work better now.

hey i just wished opera had the option to create desktop shortcuts. I don't like the whole save bookmarks in a file thing. or the plugin where you have to input the title to create a desktop shortcut. this is kind of the reason why I still use internet explorer. firefox is a bit bloated to me.

Seems mildly useful, especially for a less techy crowd...but those people will never hear of this.

Currently use hamachi for getting to stuff on main. VPN in to turn it on if its off.
