The latest nail in the coffin of
ThinClients
:
There are several major API components to Gears (from
WikiPedia
):
A Database module (powered by SQLite) that can store data locally (See
NimbleDatabase
).
A
WorkerPool
module that provides parallel execution of
JavaScript
code.
A
LocalServer
module that caches and serves application resources (HTML,
JavaScript
, images, etc)
A Desktop module that lets web applications interact more naturally with the desktop.
A Geolocation module that lets web applications detect the geographical location of their users.
Can anyone honestly say, that after eating this 10000

WebBrowsers
as
ThinClients
still have a future?
