First impressions certainly include a certain WOW factor that isn't to be had with traditional server software that usually leaves one tired and angry with the world... The process from installation to operation was extremely short and instantly gratifying (which being currently addicted to Discovery's Pitch Men series) is quite brilliant.<br /><br />Now these are certainly first impressions and much more thorough thought has been put into this product: like these fine articles,<br /><a href="http://infoworld.com/d/developer-world/opera-unite-real-plan-put-software-in-control-again-902"><br />InfoWorld</a><br /><a href="http://www.wired.com/science/discoveries/news/1998/08/14742">Wired</a><br /><br />Or for those more numerically inclined (Mmm graphs) <a href="http://unitehowto.com/Performance">http://unitehowto.com/Performance</a><br /><br />I only read the InfoWorld article and from my perspective I think it misses the point. Opera Unite provides an extremely easy to use/functional webserver for those serious persons not given to the facebook[s] and myspace[s].<br /><br />But the bottom line is would I run this as a 24/7 webserver? Probably not... Unless not until its proven by the online masses. To me web serving is still about dedicating hardware; exactly the wrong answer when it comes to Unite.<br /><br />So to end this rather long post...

Refer to the original post at <a href="http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2008-12-26/maria-holic-anime-1st-episode-streamed-for-free">ANN</a>:<br /><blockquote>The Animate.tv video website has begun streaming the first anime episode based on Minari Endo's Maria Holic romantic comedy manga on Friday. Viewers are first required to register in Japanese and install the latest version of Windows Media Player, and the episode itself is in Japanese.

Everyone had high hopes of high body counts; but it wasn't really meant to be... Overall, Code Geass is one of the best animes a collaboration between companies has produced. The only problem is the shallowness of having only 50 episodes present the content of easily twice that many.<br /><br />Oh, and here's the RANT. In the episodes portraying the decisive battle for Tokyo between the Black Knights and Schnizel the ending of Suzaku firing Freya makes NO SENSE. Given that Orange-kun had joined Lulu on the side of *justice* and basic premises of Lelouch's strategic ability it's hard to believe Lelouch would have not given the order to dispell Suzaku's "live" geass. Having believed Suzaku just tried to betray him to Schnizel, Lelouch would not have been holding any lingering loyalty to any friendship. Then again, killing millions with Freya finally made Suzaku less of an EMO-hypocratic-punk-ass-b*t*h.<br /></span>BOAShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08058966647714897635noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14043877.post-27025151167287149072008-09-26T08:10:00.000-07:002008-09-26T08:11:48.590-07:00Lucky Star OVA Reminder<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1ipUxbl2AKcJ2O5Pnc9jZkWC9o9kBwwk1k9r2avSvdaAC-_EdFiGKOlmC_xYlPaYlcDT5bf05_SsldXgVmEIjKevaapsYdby43RLQmDqMBmmqUYrbt_R0XysMznDmM5c3dnJ_eg/s1600-h/neko.png"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1ipUxbl2AKcJ2O5Pnc9jZkWC9o9kBwwk1k9r2avSvdaAC-_EdFiGKOlmC_xYlPaYlcDT5bf05_SsldXgVmEIjKevaapsYdby43RLQmDqMBmmqUYrbt_R0XysMznDmM5c3dnJ_eg/s200/neko.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250347988318471106" border="0" /></a>Released earlier today...
