Opera Software's voice-controlled electronic program guide

Opera Software kind of fell off our rader since the whole Mozilla/Firefox thing took over, but they're still kicking it with their browser—and they're trying out a few new tricks for good measure.  Their latest is a voice-enabled electronic program guide (EPG) that lets you control your TV without the need of a remote (it's such an effort, you know?). The voice technology, which is based on IBM's Embedded ViaVoice, will also make it's way into Opera's new web browser (which should be available in a few weeks). No word on when the voice-enabled EPG will be available.
