Yeah, the whole web-based OS and all apps web-based makes me shudder.  
Applications should be web-enabled, not web-based. Web browsers are  
for browsing web pages, not a platform for building applications on.  
Examples of web-enabled applications: email, IRC, instant messenger,  
RSS reader, photo sharing software. You state that your goal is to  
have your information accessible anywhere and have the conveniences  
of the internet… all of which are excellent things. Applications  
should continue to take more advantage of the internet and remote  
server, storing preferences, aggregating, sharing, synchronizing, but  
I want speed and reliability. I don't trust the net completely. If it  
goes down, I still want my data… and, I want it fast. Cache it in the  
back ground. I don't want to have to wait for the internet.
