OK, I'm willing to take downvotes here, because I'm going to slap HN a little. Why are many people upvoting niyazpk's comments (+14/4 vs other +1 comments before I head to sleep)? To sum up his arguments: it's cool and he's got a gut feeling that it's a web game changer. Meanwhile, there's a bunch of more critical comments that point out Opera's insignificant examples and reasons why the developers that can most use this technology would be better to use more reliable cloud hosting. And these comments get some ups then get pushed back to 1 point. Aren't we supposed to be more analytical here? If you're going to upvote something, make sure there some substance behind the comment rather than what's tantamount to a "that's cool, Opera rox."

Don't think more about the votes. Votes does not mean anything. 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.... [EDIT: I am re-posting my comment from this thread: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=659822 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=659822 We are missing the point. 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. ]
