A few days ago Jon S. von Tetzchner, CEO of Opera Software, said:
I will swim from Norway to the USA if download numbers of Opera 8 reach 1 million in four days
Further the official press release said:
Opera has now installed additional servers with increased capacity, and it was the download counter showing 600 000 downloads in 48 hours that sparked Mr Tetzschner's enthusiasm and thus his courageous promise to boldly swim where no man has swum before.

Well, what is there to say about it? The most interesting thing for myself is that this will most likely mean the end of the separate Dreamweaver and GoLive applications. Dreamweaver is a commercially more successful and better known product, so my bet would be a Dreamweaver extended with all the good sides of GoLive *coughs*Presto*coughs*.

Adobe GoLive CS2 is out. What does this offer? It uses Presto (Opera's rendering engine) for the WYSIWYG interface. This is great news in various aspects. First, according to some (including myself) Presto is the best rendering engine out there.

(in Dreamweaver as well, but that's still more IE oriented)
It also comes with WYSIWYG handheld authoring and everything else Opera's rendering engine sup…

In this entry I will discuss how to use content negotiation to your advantage and offer the correct mime-type for your code to the browsers which can handle it.
Last year, I only used to check the HTTP_ACCEPT header of a browser for the presence of application/xhtml+xml, which can be done easily by using:
<?php
if (stristr($_SERVER, 'application/xhtml+xml'))
{
}
