hey guys, seriously: aren’t we all online all the time?
for what exactly would we need offline support for web apps? to speed our torrents up or what? ;)

I have seen an implementation of an online calendar app with this kinda functionality. It was quite smooth… if you could stay using that kind of functionality on other apps I would def. Love to see it. With all this in sight though I wonder how the browser wars will heat up and what kind of new technologies we will see as the idea of “anywhere apps” as I’ve started calling them continue to gain momentum.

And last but not least I part with this statment

*sigh* job security feels goooood

Goodbye Office? Isn’t this what was said when Google Docs came out? What happened? Oh right, he’s puny compared to MS Office.

Aww, but you forget: Openoffice already offers a great multi-platform MS Office alternative, and it’s open source, to boot. I haven’t used MS office for years now, ever since finding it on a linux install I tried out.

Well I think I will somewhat ,miss it. I will never be able to miss a deadline and say “I’m very sorry but Word crashed on me last night.”

People usually can relate to your MS problems. Other then that, good ridance.

This will also help blur the line between Mac and PC users. We can all use the EXACT same application in the future. This gives me a smile.
