Yeah, looks to be an issue with the rating system. a rating of -infinity cant be right! @jbboisseau: rofl – good point.

Yeah, looks to be an issue with the rating system. a rating of -infinity cant be right!

Unless this is some kind of alien zipper that travels backwards through time... a time lord zipper? But as the zipper goes from the past to the future, it is actually pulling them apart.

I could be wrong, but it's my first instinct.

I mean, they are two very different beasts, but if I code for Flash I know that my code will work in basically every browser. Instead, how many people will turn down my Gears code because they don't want to install yet another plugin, maybe one they didn't even hear about? I'd appreciate some figures from the Google team and I'd love to read about a large installation base. A part from that, I'm happy to learn that HTML5 and Gears will converge. It seems it's going to be like the current Javascript libraries, that augment the browsers functionalities and hide most of their differencies.
