Word up peepz! did you hear that Apple has invented SproutCore. It was
announced at the end of WWDC on Friday last week.

I don't know what it is or what it does but it's supposed to be da
bomb (which is urban slag for saying it's 'fandabbydozy').

I think it's to do with writing your own web applications. some peepz
think the future of apps is on the web (like Google Docs). I beg to
differ : I really do. Can you imagine something like photoshop running
as a web app? It would be really sucky.

You don't know what it is, or what it does, but you know it's going to
be sucky?

Plonk.

It exists, but I bet it's sucky in comparison to CS3.

It's not supposed to compare to CS3-- different application, different
audience, early days for the technology. But since you've obviously
never tried it, your opinion of its worth doesn't really count for much.
