Opera is not a web browser, Opera is an internet suite dedicated to giving you quick and easy access to information. They already have included E-Mail and RSS. The way I see it this breaks down to :
Rss = News, Updates
Web pages = Information obtained by using a Google search on a specific subject.
Widgets : How often do you find information that is right in front of you but you don't get it? More often than you think. Widgets are for those words that you don't know the meaning of, for a quick Google Image search on that animal with that weird name. A quick conversion between pounds and euros.
Widgets are here to translate information into thing that you can understand it doesn't matter if it is a word, a unit or a thing something you need some help identifying what is behind it.

It's a free open source RTS using the game files (and many mods) made for Total Annihilation, the critical acclaimed RTS. Right now it has many mods available (from WW 2 to future space combat) and is played by hundreds of people daily.
