Andrei: "What mindset change are we talking about specifically here? "
Hi Andrei, there are two specific innovations in Chrome that I believe will change the perception of the landscape a little. First, the Task Manager. By empowering 'average' users to first understand problem sites (sessions, threads, processes, widgets, plugins.. whatever you want to call it) and take more granular control of their tabs, it will underline the mutlithreading capabilities. This will in my view change the preceptions the time spent online as a single activity and users will start managing time in terms of parallel activities. Something not really feasible today. Developers, conversely, will now have the finger pointed directly at them as opposed to the browser crashes taking flak for their bad code. The second is the combination of the ability to pull out a tab to its own window and minimise the omnibar, blurring the lines between cloud and desktop even further. As a mac user I've yet to really play with this second feature so please be gentle when you pass comment. Again though, I'm talking about tipping point changes in perception, not implemented complexity in google apps or high end JS tricks specifically. You are right to say that there may not be a lot of earth shattering going on in chrome... 'web 3.0 has been under way for a while'. Agreed, however I said this could be the dawn of 3.0, something we can point to and say 'it was around about this point where we really started to see the webOS story illuminated in the general populations mindset' All the best /pauric . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
