Will Opera 10 come out of Beta or...?
- Philipp Lenssen
No, I don't think so (the beta version was released last week). It's something related to cloud computing.
- Ionut
Tall order. I remember a day in early 80s when I explained the then-new office microcomputer to a journalist as a "typewriter of tomorrow today." What do you think was the newspaper leading with the very next day?

- Jérôme Flipo
LIked this bit "Fridge - A fun place for people to leave notes on your computer." Rrrright. @Jérôme, if it proves a success, the other undoubtedly will follow. There are only so many ways desktop-server can communicate with peers over the IP, so the principle can not have been patented, only certain aspects of Opera's implementation.
- ianf ⌘
There was a plugin for Firefox called AllPeers that turned Firefox into a social P2P file sharing application. But the project was stopped because there wasn't enough users.
- Brome
While servers are not useless, the idea that not everything has to pass through them is sensible. You need a always on computer (e.g. at home) for Opera Unite to work, don't you?
- milivella
Probably not, not always on. They must've taken into the account what it is running on, how to save and reestablish state of connection seamlessly after possible "hiccups" in the network. In effect implemented a stateless system with high level of redundancy, possibly with a distributed p2p file system etc.
- ianf ⌘
If you close Opera or you shut down your computer, your web applications will no longer work. You'll get the message: "The device you were trying to access does not seem to be available."
- Ionut
Ionut, if you shut down the computer you won't get anything ;-)) But the issue is not how it ceases to be, but how well it recovers from temporary "absences."
- ianf ⌘
@ianf & Ionut: thanks for the reply. Ionut got what I meant, but what ianf wrote is interesting as well.

Seriously, why can't Google design their own Friendfeed (or acquire it) and put "Updates" between Web and Images in the product bar? They could then integrate updates from all services in one stream, with a private section for confidential information ("John has shared a document with you and Paul").

The offline use is nice, but doesn't the point about the experience being the same seem a little dubious? The HTC Dream and the iPhone run relatively similar versions of WebKit; the problem has always been UA developers not coding to the same specifications.

HTML5 the draft? http://www.w3.org/TR... "HTML 5 is still a draft. The contents of HTML 5, as well as the contents of this document which depend on HTML 5, are still being discussed..."
- Stephen Mack
Mark: I don't understand. Can you elaborate? Is your concern that other mobile HTML5-compliant engines won't render the same as each other?
- Kevin Fox
"The HTML 5 specification will not be considered finished before there are at least two complete implementations of the specification. This is a different approach than previous versions of HTML had. The goal is to ensure that the specification is implementable and usable by designers and developers once it is finished."
- Philipp Lenssen
Kevin, I guess I'm thinking about the discussions from Joel Sposky and others (Joel's piece: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items...) when the IE8 "standards mode" was announced: I'm not convinced all mobile HTML5-compliant engines will interpret what it means to be compliant the same way, and this has been an issue with every version of HTML. I get it if we're limiting the...

- Mark Trapp
Contradictorily to how things should be, if some dominant apps come out while the spec is still in draft form then engine developers will, for better or worse, try to code to those entrenched apps or at least not break them too hard, especially in the mobile market where the ability to run those apps are features that customers use when making purchasing decisions.
- Kevin Fox
The alternative would be a "Gears" for every platform, right? It makes sense to me they'd rather chase an evolving HTML5.
- Antonio Piccolboni
Exactly. By chasing it, you pin it down. How can you know if a spec draft is complete without building production apps to it? :-)
- Kevin Fox
The great thing about standards is how many there are to choose from.

A Greasemonkey script to create longer comments on Friendfeed...
Igor Poltavskiy, Voyagerfan5761, and Rami Botros liked this
... could perhaps save its data into a special room created for that purpose, as a comment. If you don't have the Greasemonkey installed, you'll see the first part of the comment as normal followed by a link to the continuation of the comment in that room's storage. If you did install it, you'll simply see the longer comment, with an additional agreed-on character for line breaks.
- Philipp Lenssen
Or they could just break open the limit. Maybe you would have to take a test in essay writing, and get issued a license to post long-form content, just to keep the riffraff from blathering on forever. More reasonably, long comments could have their tail hidden behind an expando of some kind (a "..." that you click on and expands in place).
- ⓞnor
I like the idea of an expando on long comments.
- Jason Wehmhoener
For now you can simply copy/paste the long text to override the limit.

I don't like posting lots of text without paragraph breaks, though.
