Recently, folks have been trying to [make] browser-based applications more interactive using technologies such as Ajax. To my mind, this is just a stop-gap until we throw the browser away altogether — Ajax is just lipstick on a pig.

Everyone who believes in software as a service wants this to happen eventually. Although Mr. Thomas makes this sound like a bad thing, it's quite possible that computers with a descent browser will eventually be the modern version of the dumb terminal.

The new Palm Foleo is a perfect example of this.
