No relation to TurboGears, which is a web application framework for Python (Django is the other popular one for Python), both of which are similar to Ruby-on-Rails. Google Gears seems to be Javascript libraries with some special glue code to an embedded SQLite database for local persistence - so you get a complete SQL database (and a fast one at that, albeit single-user) embedded in your Web browser. It (Google Gears) has to be installed as a plug-in, but in Firefox that as easy and installing any other Firefox plug-in (two clicks). I've not tried it with IE, but I imagine that the installation is pretty simple.
