This week, Ryan and I finally get back together for a brief but packed episode. The title pretty much covers the topics. We don’t spend a lot of time detailing news – as there’s not a whole lot of it – spending most of time talking about geographic concerns and getting back to a discussion from episode 14, we talk about Google Gear’s aspirations to be the new web standards work-horse, supplanting the W3C or any other standards body.

  1. Hi guys,

    Sounds like a good one. A couple of points:

    When I saw, "Google Gear's aspirations to be the new web standards work-horse, supplanting the W3C or any other standards body." I cringed.

    That is the exact opposite of what we want to do. We participate IN W3C/WHATWG. We definitely don't want to just do our own thing. Liberal open source license + work with standards = make the Web a better platform. At least, that is our goal, we still have a way to go.

    Oh, and it is "Gears" now, not "Google Gears" 😉

    Wish I was on that 'cast. I met the SproutCore co-founder last week (http://ajaxian.com/archives/audible-ajax-episode-27-sproutcore-with-charles-jolley). Really nice guy.

  2. Dion: Thanks for the clarification 😉

  3. No more s***. All posts of this qulitay from now on
