> Ultimately, "applications/apps" will not exist, there will just be the web

Except this isn't the web at all, this is some closed Google-only internet. This isn't the death of personal computing, this is the death of the web.

It should be pretty clear by now to most techies that Chrome* is the neoMSIE.

We should stop applauding these complete violations of web standards. This is the opposite of awesome.

The direction the web is heading these days literally makes me sad: less open, less standards-based, less cross platform. Everything which made the web a good thing in the first place is being driven away by.



How is this "Google-only", and how are they completely violating web standards?

Also, what exactly makes Chrome the "neoMSIE"?
