Google Gears Up to Be a Player Offline

Google has created new Web software that runs both online and offline, allowing users to work just about anywhere -- even in places with spotty or no Internet connections. The new open source technology for creating offline Web applications, Google Gears, is a browser plug-in that will let people run Web applications at home or work, or in planes, trains and automobiles. The idea, says Google, is to create a single, standardized way to add offline capabilities to Web applications.
