Opera Unite: a cloud-based promise to 'reinvent the web,' again

Opera has a little surprise in store for you this morning with its Opera Unite service. A web-based application built into the Opera browser that the Norwegian-based company says will "reinvent the Web" as it makes your computer, data, and media available via any web browser through the Unite cloud. A bold claim, sure, but just look at the breadth of the cloud-based services available to Mac, PC, or Linux/Unix users:
File sharing -- securely share files direct from your computer
Web server -- turns your home computer into a web server via Opera Unite URL
Media player -- direct link to your music collection from any web browser
Photo sharing -- shares your image library over the web without requiring a photo service
Lounge -- self-contained chat service running on your computer
Fridge -- a place where friends and family can post notes
We're taking the service / software for a spin right now and at first blush, we're duly impressed by the ease of setup and control. Hit the links below to try it for yourself. Video introduction after the break.

Looks like a ambitious project.
I never liked cloud but hopefully opera will change that for me.

You forgot the link HOer. I taught you how to copy paste in the other thread if you've forgotten.

And before you asshats trying to bash that, I'll have you know that there was a Swedish intern on the development team. So there.

Still haven't figured out how to copy paste links yet? Don't worry, my man, I'm sure there is someone here able to dumb it down enough for you to understand.

It is a bit complicated at first. Hot Rod gets confused about it too, so don't feel like you are the only one.

You should get your head checked up by a doctor.

Aww, you do care! Everyone that lives in sweden is a HOer at heart.

*huggles NeverWoods*

And I agree, just the other day I was on my favourite online forum trying to convince people that this shitty OneSwarm thing was developed by Swedes. Deifinitely indicative of mental illness.

Well, I must say I'm a bit surprised. 1 hour later and you still haven't figured out how to copy and paste a simple link.

But no worries, just give me your IP address and turn on remote access, I'll guide you right through it.

I warned you about copy and pasting insults twice. But alas, I promised myself I'd leave you alone for a while.

Tata, my teenage compadre.
