Google Gears is Launched
Mister Inbetween writes "Google is rolling out a technology designed to overcome the major drawback faced by all web-based applications: the fact that they don't work without an internet connection. 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."
Boo! Am I the only one who thinks the Big 4 browsers should be supported, and not just FireFox/IE? In fact, I'd rather put a sign up on my site that says, "IE Users not welcome, upgrade to a REAL browser" than not support the millions of mobile and home gaming machines out there. Of course, I suppose that's just me.
I'm looking into how this works right now. I have my suspicions, but we'll see.
Javascript + Nintendo DSi = DSiCade
How low can you get? Someone needs to put a stop to these trolls.
Hehehehe. Mark Andreesen once said that the browser would replace the desktop and Microsoft buried him. Google has sneaked up on Microsoft, big time. This seems to be a pretty good tool. Works better than Windows 1.0 or 3.0 ever did.

Lets keep adding more and more crap to web. Lets not replace it with, ya know, something that deals with all these problems in a sane way.
I wonder if I use bold in my signature, people will notice my posts.
Why is the google engineering director stretching his ass out like that?
Look! Trolling again! That happy-face has an evil glow! And there are hidden messages in that word "Done." It could mean Don*ay* or perhaps re-arraigned to mean "noDe." We all know a node is for spreading virus' Stop him!
you fags still fucking around with that linux shit? pathetic!
Well if the EFF said not to use it, then I'd better do what the EFF says!

Because it is slow.
MODS: Feel free to mod me troll, I can take it and it will only show that I'm right and you're afraid.
The Farewell Tour II
The Niggers would like to take the opportunity to answer that question. The reason the engineering dude is stretching his asshole like that is because da niggers are getting ready to put 6 poles in that ass. He had a long night and it musta been like 30 niggers up in his shit by the end of the night. He tried not to cry but when Big Dog hit it, it was too much. That white boy screamed and it only made the Niggers harder.

So this is about you and not some general hypothetical case, then?
I didn't realize I was supposed to come up with a solution for your particular situation which meets very specific criteria such as being an on-site application. Tell you what, you pay me $75 an hour and I'll see what I can do.
I submit that you're trying to get free consulting out of a Slashdot thread!
