Listen To My Command

Ok, if you have OS X and a computer with a microphone, you have to go download the newest OmniWeb. Turn on its speech preference then turn on speech in the System preferences. Sit back (literally) and surf the web via the sound of your voice.
This is so cool -- I surfed around for an hour or so the other night and it really does work pretty well. They still haven't got full CSS support, but hey!, you can tell you computer what to do. See a link you want to visit? Just say the link and whoosh! you are there. Say "go back" and it does. Say "move page down" and it does. etc. Now go impress your friends.
Oh, and the display in OmniWeb is always smooth like butter, even if you don't have 10.1.5 or Silk.
