With all the recent hype surrounding Google's Chrome, it's refreshing to see someone taking a few steps back and looking at the bigger picture. Superlatives were abound about Chrome (I personally really like it), but some people really took it overboard - take TechCrunch for instance: "Chrome is nothing less than a full on desktop operating system that will compete head on with Windows." Seeing my nationality, I know a tulip mania when I see one. So does Ted Dziuba.

Ted is clearly not seeing where Google or the future of web apps are going. Look at what happened with email readers. They used to be run on your local computer from vendors like Qualcomm (Eudora) but nowadays people are more and more running their mail online.
Google isn't targeting Joe Average or Ted's granma in their first Chrome release. Google have a clear strategy and part of it is to offline enable their web apps making them more like regular apps. Some of the technology in the Chrome browser let's them do just that.
Where Google is heading is obvious, the question is how long it will take before it's gone through early adopters and are being picked up by Ted's grandma. Here's an insightful blog in the same matter http://code.qbranch.se/post/show/33
