Anyone else feel like https://chrome.google.com/webstore https://chrome.google.com/webstore makes this seem old-fashioned? Seriously who's going to be running software on their local machine a year from now (apart from hackers obviously).

- ceejayoz 16y agoApple Remote Desktop, Aperture, etc. aren't going to run in the browser anytime soon.
- JBiserkov 16y agoThere have been browser based remote desktop solutions for years now. Microsoft Live Mesh and LogMeIn come to mind, but I'm sure there are others as well. They require some sort of plugin/Java/ActiveX/whatever, but hey so does video.
- ceejayoz 16y agoThat's not all ARD does.
- vokoda 16y agoHah, so rimantas & ceejayoz both work at Apple.
- ceejayoz 16y agoMan, do I ever wish.

- Groxx 16y agoOnly if the webstore weren't packed full of apps which are nothing but links to websites. I run stuff offline pretty frequently. Online more frequently, but losing offline capabilities (especially in the face of links-as-apps) would be absolutely crippling for me. Not that I doubt good WebStore apps will be capable of running completely offline. But that's certainly not the state of things right now, and the added programming complexity implies to me that it won't change very quickly.
- jokermatt999 16y agoTake a look at the sales figures for the webstore. I don't think the change is coming.
