- From the description the InfoWorld article of the AIR application
developed & used by NASDAQ:

http://www.infoworld.com/article/08/02/24/adobe-air_1.html

...it sounds very much like a "widget" -type of application,
pulling content from a third-party location.

If this is true, then I see a wide adoption of this (as we already
see with widgets on social networking sites, etc.), as well as
wide-spread possibility for exploitation.
