Yes, I think you are right. There are a lot of desktops apps. But even if they were not, right now, the PaaS options like AppEngine or the new AWS Elastic Beanstalk are too restrictive and not mature enough to become a serious alternative for enterprise apps.

But who knows what will happen in the future...

Groupon is going to face a lot of competition these next months. Now Yelp is offering some similar deals related with food....

I agree with fleitz. The users do not care about standards and the developers should focus on the users and consequently just make it work in all browsers without caring about the theoretical specification.

1. Luck 2. Intelligence 3. Persistence

Like they say in match point:

The man who said "I'd rather be lucky than good" saw deeply into life. People are afraid to face how great a part of life is dependent on luck. It's scary to think so much is out of one's control. There are moments in a match when the ball hits the top of the net, and for a split second, it can either go forward or fall back. With a little luck, it goes forward, and you win. Or maybe it doesn't, and you lose.
