Technology & Innovation is picking up again

Some examples:

1. AJAX
2. Ruby on Rails (intro article here)
3. What MS is doing with Windows Live

Network computing is now possible - apps can be built on a browser than can actually have more power than a client-side app. With AJAX/etc - no need to refresh - it's actually a big deal (no need to submit)! Examples include google maps, google suggest, this sweet word processor, and many more!

By the way - if you use firefox, USE THIS EXTENSION! Google suggest in ALL google search boxes!
