Opera Browser at it again

OSLO, Norway (AP) -- Opera Software is developing a new Internet browser that allows users to talk to their computer, the company announced Tuesday.

The new browser incorporates IBM's ViaVoice technology, enabling the computer to ask what the user wants and "listen" to the request. Opera declined to give a launch date.

Still in testing, but sounds like a cool idea.
Granted I'd never use it, I have 3 other roommates, and its really not necessary for everybody to know what I'm browsing

I think this technology would have great usefulness especially for people with paralysis.

-that's the altruistic part of this message!

Now, that we are done for with PSA, can you imagine how embarassing it would be to be surfing *other* sites ??!

Better keep the microphone gain up high for those surfing interludes!
