Google Walter Mossberg of The Wall Street Journal, who has been testing Google's Chrome browser for a week next to the latest version of Microsoft's Internet Explorer, concludes "With the emergence of Chrome, consumers have a new and innovative browser choice, and with IE8, the new browser war is sure to be a worthy contest." Many cloud computing enthusiasts are overjoyed with Chrome and call it the first cloud browser or even the basis for a cloud operating system.

Gears is more than just 'offline content', check out the website for some real facts. Basically, gears is a set of modules each of which is designed to make web applications, and cloud storage easier to use/manage for the user. I'd say that if it takes off, gears will enable cloud computing to really get off the ground.
