You will be seeing this idea more and more.
It cracks open the last barrier between
browser applications and other PC apps, and
with Google showing off how cool it is, it
is bound to stay. I've been watching it for
about 3 years, and now it's getting the
attention it deserves.

It's the thing that allows GMAIL to update
your browser with new emails without reloading
your webpage, or allowing you to scroll
across 100 yards of map seamlessly, one
inch at a time--in your browser! I like it.

I like it alot.
