Crappiest story I've read in an age.
Seriously, this was just pure tabloid dribble, I felt embarrassed to be reading it.
Opera Unite is great, for its target market, people like my mum and other family members who aren't totally clued up geeks running their own apache server. I had installed this for my mother already this last week and she loves it, she can very quickly share some photographs with her sisters and skip the hassles of uploading them. Especially as I knocked up a quick nautilus script to resize and copy them to the share folder. The Fridge feature is a neat and fairly well implemented idea, its novel and fun to use. Its not going to replace an IM, but its a great way for people to leave a fun note after viewing photo's for instance.
Opera Unite gives normal uses the convenience of a server, wtf more does the author of this shitty hatchet job of a story want?
