bullshit. I don't think apollo is going anywhere. We all used to browsing the web with our browsers noone is going to use apollo for that. ok so we can build custom applications that parses some of the things from web, well we could already do this with flash, what's new?

(Mar 19 07, 07:35)Haha, I don’t even know how to comment to that absurdity.
One example of a real-world application of Apollo would be kiosks.
Say a company wants to have a job application center in their store, however, they don’t want it connected to the internet, nor do they want it to utilize IE/FX.
Brand an application which has Q/A for each potential candidate and every nite have a batch run to a centralized source for file keeping to allow appropriate hire managers to sift thru the pool to see which candidates should move to the next step of the hiring process.
Is this capable now without Apollo?
Yes, but with Apollo it sure looks like it is going to be a hell of a lot easier.

has to be something good about it if ebay is investing in it right? :)

well that's what I meant. I don't see how it will be easier with apollo. it's just any other software that macromedia/adobe is trying to push. how many of you are using google earth rather than google maps? I am trying to stay away storing things on the web rather than on my machine and they are coming with an application that I need to install in order to run applications on them.
hello, I am not going to install another app. oh maybe I install if it's a success like RSS. as I like reading rss feeds on a separate software rather than on the web. but once again I am not sure about apollo.
and flavorfull, dude, I think without internet apollo is useless.

I only see this kind of applications good for building really fool proof customized sevices for people who don't necessarily internet power users.
My main argument is that, this Apollo is not breakthrough or cutting-edge technological intervention. they are just repacking what they have and try to sell it in a different package. that's all it is.

(Mar 19 07, 08:28)Exactly... ONE of the points of apollo, to help people who aren't internet power users, like much of the worldly population.
Apollo won't be something you have to download either, if you are merely the target audience, you already have the tools..
Flashplayer... Acrobat reader..
scrumptious :)
