- When you shake your ass, they notice fast – and some mistakes were built to last
"Given that I work in the legacy industry, I'm certainly understand that there's a lot of stuff out there that is way over hyped and fizzles faster than it became fashionable. But this notion of basing your strategy on the revealed preferences of your customers, rather than understanding what their actual problems are, is something that definitely keeps me up at night. The idea that someone's current investment reveals their preferences for the 'way things are done' seems to be one that's based on manifestly shaky ground."

"Meyer, vice president of emerging technologies in SAP's BusinessObjects division, demonstrated how users can collaborate in real time on problem-solving "activities" that employ widgets called ;methods.' As examples, he showed a tool for cataloging the pros and cons of a scenario, and another for conducting analyses using the SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats) methodology."

- Google Gears out, HTML 5 in: what this means for offline web apps
Categories: Links.
What do you think about the Google Gears news? In a sense, I've always thought of Gears as a way to bridge the gap between older browsers to HTML 5, so the announcement didn't really shock me. Given that there are frameworks such as Dojo Offline that already provide an abstraction layer on top of Gears functionality (using HTML 5 rather than Gears when it's available), I don't think it's necessarily that big a deal.

Yup, I'd agree with that. With it being in HTML 5 and (seemingly) tested out by Google here and there where its supported, it doesn't seem too bad. More importantly, it does signal even more what Google has been saying recently: it's all about the HMTL 5.
