It has to be Microsoft, right? I mean, usually when a company announces something new you have Microsoft announcing the same thing the following day.

Gears is a start, but in the long run web developer will need some kind of local server that can handle web apps and automatically sync data back to the cloud when you reconnect. Last year I spoke to someone at Intel, they were thinking along the same lines (don't know if they're still in the game, though).

A standardized package of, say, Ruby/PHP/MySQL/Webserver would be nice to have, and on top a lightweight framework that handles installation, updates and data synchronization. The downer here is the sheer size of that runtime (my guess is over 20MB even for a stripped down installer) and configuration issues. It would rock, but it's probably not gonna happen.

"because otherwise you wouldn’t know to be back here at noon, would you?"

Er, there's this marvellous new invention, I don't know if you've heard of it...what's it called...oh yes, RSS, that's it.

Seriously this is the dumbest post of the week :-)

"I'll be posting something cool tomorrow so be sure to come back!"
"Uh, won't it be in my RSS reader?"
"Well, yeah, I *guess* you could do that..."

With all the talk about acquisitions, my bets are on salesforce.com - now that would be exciting!

Popfly?
Adobe Apollo?
But the PHP interpreter in a browser would be great. I vote for Chris's idea.

Um, why are they stopping at javascript?
Why not install a lightweight PHP interpreter in the browser module?
Why limit it to javascript API and static pages?
Put a PHP interpreter right in the browser!
That way you can put most of the dynamicism of a website offline.

If I wasn't managing employees everyday, and working on a next gen SQL server, I'd throw my hat in the ring. I love PHP. Offline AJAX with JS just still doesn't cut it. Sorry.

Otherwise, why not just use httrack. Maybe you threw a little API in there, but come on. Billions of dollars, and they won't do client side interpreters for PHP. Zend won't do it.
