google推出的suggest新功能

当你敲入一些词语,页面会自动跳出剩余单词选择,并告诉你搜索结果,很神奇。

也就是说,在你敲入单词时,IE浏览器已经通过一种AJAX()的客户端技术向服务器查询并返回结果了

再看看这里;

AJAX是一种新的客户端技术:

AJAX = Asynchronous JavaScript Technology and XML

AJAX将Web浏览器带入了一个和专业的胖客户端相媲美的新的客户端技术境地,技术已经成熟,剩余的只是你知不知道?以及是否去做?

我想请教大师:如何看待这个“新瓶装的旧酒”的应用前景呢?

不敢为大师,会被人骂成“大屎”了。

今天看了一篇文章:
Mustang Hotspot Client Achives 58% Performance Improvement
http://www.javalobby.org/java/forums/t54006.html

Mustang可以提升58% JVM性能,现在Mustang正在致力于启动速度提升,
如果Java客户端能够达到1秒的启动速度,那么几乎所有其他的语言在客户端图形界面将没有竞争力。下面一个老外见解比较有道理:
I strongly believe that if Java could reach a startup time of 1 (one) second for gui applications (including applets), every other technology would immediately fade away in the sector of rich client applications, and we could redeemed ourselves from this idiotic AJAX hype before it get too hard. I try every new version of Mustang, and I strongly think we are almost there. It would really be a pity if we missed the opportunity to work with the greatest platform available on the front of gui applications just for startup time, and would be forced to use a messed up hell like DHTML, AJAX, CSS and the like.
On the other front the partnership of Sun with Google could finally grant a more robust spread of Java also on Windows box. All this togheter could really start a new era for Java on the desktop, a definitive winning one at last.
Every other aspect is already perfect, Mustang is growing really speed and robust.
Now we just need one second startup time for gui applications.

就差一秒,Java就赢定整个桌面系统,借助google帮助,会成为将来的桌面主流。
