Opera speaks up

Opera, the company that makes the browser you're too cheap to use, is stepping up their PVR options.  They have a software platform for set top boxes that provides media playing, web browsing and interactive TV.  While we'll leave it for historians to decide if "iTV" was an idea before its time in the mid-90's or just a bad idea, Opera's voice controlled program guide sounds like a great idea. Truly, we are living in the future.

Looks interesting. When I first saw the caption in the image above: "XHTML + Voice", my first snarky thought was: "Oh God, I hope I don't have to start speaking in well-formed sentences."
