Mozilla Prism arrives!

Sometimes some lucky projects can also break away from the web, see google earth, visual joy for many users, it seems that this fate will go to web based applications.

But how is this possible? We speak of hundreds (if not thousands) of web applications throughout the vast network, who is crazy that will rewrite cotanta stuff for the desktop? Tranquilli, the madness of men still do not get to this limit, to bring all applications in the desktop will Prism Mozilla!

What Mozilla Prism? It is an internal project based on the code of Firefox 3, whose aim is to recreate in a real desktop platform for web applications, obviously an ADSL connection is required, on the contrary we will be able to enjoy these solutions without crushed see too often in small windows Web browsers.

Quest'applicazione is provided in stand-alone version (version 0.9) or in the "plugin for firefox" (version 0.2), as Mark Frinkle Prism another novelty, use Firefox as runtime (no longer need to download XUL ), Because this Firefox 3 is capable of performing XUL applications.

Simply a fantastic attempt, the only question that arises is me: this popò of stuff that is emerging for the web, is not intended to make it even more dispersive the content of network? Maybe not, moreover doing so makes it even more free and borderless information, in short innovate is fine but I think that the good old browser will remain the gateway to web content for a long time.
