He is just trying to market himself by trashing newcomers. His # 1 reason for the sucketivity of these startups is "Almost no company on this list is using video". This comes from a guy whose job title is "video blogger". His entire career revolves around camera and camera related stuff. Has this guy done any real tech stuff other than 'assemble computers' ?

It doesnt actually.Adobe AIR is not a browser dependent entity like Google Gears. AIR is a runtime. AIR and Gears are not comparable entities.

You are right. The article doesn't make any sense.The article author is trying to imply that ,as Google Chrome comes with Gears,Gears could get more popular than AIR one day and thus be a treat to Adobe. I disagree with the author completely.

Unlike Gears,Adobe AIR doesn't require a browser to exists. Adobe AIR can do everything Gears can do and more. Air is not just about building offline/online apps ("occasionaly connected apps") . Air is about building desktop apps. You can build apps that never connects to the internet in AIR.

Google gears is not a runtime. It requires a browser to survive. AIR is a runtime own its own (almost like Java runtime, if you need anything to compare to). Air apps can be built just using html/javascript. Flash is not required. If you want, you can use flash too .

AIR allows traditional web developers to migrate to desktop development without learning C or Java or VB or whatever. In short AIR allows web developers to build complete desktop apps like Winamp,iCal,Paint etc.that doesnt require a browser/internet connection to exist.

In short, comparing Adobe AIR and Google gears (and hence Google chrome's threat to AIR's existence) doesn't make any sense at all.

Flash does have 'cut n paste'. Its developer choice to implement it or not.

The article is about why he hate that particular Flash website, not Flash.

Flash is THE best way to deliver heavy weight rich internet applications on web.

With Javascript, you would:

if(ie 5){ //do stuff.. }else if(ie 6){ //do stuff.. }else if(ie 7){ //do stuff.. }else if (IE generic fail edition){ //do stuff.. }else if(Opera){ //do stuff.. }else if(Safari){ //do stuff.. }else { // do stuff }

With Flash you would just "do stuff"..

Now, this doesnt mean Flash is better than Javascript.But when delivering heavy weight RIAs, its better to stick on to Flash.Why overload client side with untargeted code?
