So I get off the Net for 3 days (I was at Bremen,
for the conference on e-Justice, and the wireless
network sucked; so much for German eficiency…) and
the whole world goes bananas because of Google Gears.

Perhaps its only me, but I dont see what all the
fuss is about and it looks like were more and more
on the way of creating a MS/Apple-lookalike group of
stupid Google fanboys that go ape over everything
that Google does.
Yes I do understand the advantages and possibilities
of offline webapp technologies. Thats why I’ve been
dabbling and testing with Dojo.Offline since middle
last year.

Since Dojo.Offline already has 1 year under the belt and
will use GoogleGears (if the extension is present), Google
Gears sounds just a little bit like old news…
