BBC's Tech news shows what Adobe is touting as "Adobe Air" - how to continue "online work" while offline.
BBC News Player - Surfing web content offline
I haven't tried the Adobe software, mentioned in today's BBC article ( BBC NEWS | Technology | Adobe merge on and offline worlds ), but the Adobe guy in video is demo-ing it on a MBA - so it must with with OSX (at least Leopard).
Intriguing. I don't know if I'll like Adobe's implementation, but I've often thought about building some such capability into my web apps. Your thoughts?

AIR sucks. Memory leaks keep it from running more than 2 hours. It breaks shutdowns.

Well that's a shame.
But I appreciate the heads-up: I'll not be spending a lot of time beta-testing this version for them. ?Maybe 2.0?
Interesting, tho... how they jumped at the "Air" theme.

Adobe Air has potential. I just don't think I want Adobe controlling another format.
Flash ... PDF ...

Yes. The government should stop them from innovating anymore.
The PDF standard is open and free. It was the open source implementors who took too long to make PDF generators for non-Linux environments. That was why Adobe rules the PDF viewing/making game.
