Turning a browser into a web server is not a big leap in technology. That is not a hard problem.
Why I am excited about Opera Unite and not about this firefox extension is that Opera themselves thinks that this will change the face of internet applications. They are excited about it and they will persue this to the end. That is the whole point.
It is not about technology. It is about how you push it and persue it. It is all about your vision.

It just means that people agree with what I say, but that does not mean what I say is right.
And then there is the fact that people usually just read the root comment and do not bother reading the replies.
peace....
