no they do not, I linked to a very basic overview of some of the technologies used to have web applications work offline (the storage one is also relevant). There is a relatively huge ecosystem that isnt touched upon in that article, offline web apps are very much a thing. I have been using a mobile phone whose OS(UI/App layer) was written entirely in web technologies, it most certainly doesnt turn into a brick when I dont have a data connection. It is fine to not know these things, but its not a very good idea to be publically dismissing technologies you obviously arent very familiar with, and when people point out that you are wrong you should probably do some research before defending it.

> offline web apps are very much a thing. SO your argument in favor of online apps is that there are offline apps. Knock yourself out. BTW "offline Web app" is a contradiction in terms. > It is fine to not know these things, but its not a very good idea to be publically dismissing technologies you obviously arent very familiar with ... That's your problem, not mine -- I posted all the evidence, you posted contentless arguments. > when people point out that you are wrong Never happened. I proved my points with online references. You argued. > you should probably do some research before defending it. Look at the thread. I posed all the online evidence for my position. It is a fact that there are serious legal issues with cloud storage and reliance on Web apps. It is a fact that IT is much less enthusiastic about these technologies than business people are, the latter being less familiar with the shortcomings and vulnerabilities. I linked to the evidence for these points. You argued.
