Now when someone asks me what the phrase "jumping the shark" means, I will have an example to give them.
EDIT: A second look at Opera Unite tells me this is a neat idea, but only if it ships as a separate product and not as part of the browser. Imagine a one-click webserver you can use to share music, files and photos from your PC without having to put them "in the cloud". Opera could have charged for this service, and people would have paid gladly.
Putting this in the browser is, IMO, stupidity on a whole new level.
Downloading an external webserver or ftp is not a problem for most geeks. But it takes configuring, knowing what you're doing, etc.
The goal of Opera Unite is rather to bring this possibility, to another audience, to have easily such services.
