Google Gears is an open source technology for creating offline web applications that is being launched today at Google's annual Developer Day gatherings around the world."

    Because Google's technology works on Linux, Windows, OS X ... And pretty much most other Unix-like systems like FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris since they have Linux compatibility layers.

    Additionally (although this would have no baring on my choosing of a technology in the majority of cases), it's opensource.
