Just not Applets though eh??? No businessman in Arne world could ever make money having a browser-based architecture that provides full-blown multi-threading TCP and UDP sockets (all from non-privileged/signed Applets) Imagine Static shared variables across browser tabs - I mean how limited in application can you get? Just look at that Mozilla BaseCamp list and weap over how much Java Applets can do out-of-the box now. The problem is Larry has too much money and is more interested in Hawaian pineapples, the death toll from the Americas Cup and his bromance with Steve Jobs (the arch-villan and greates killer of Applets) to give a shit! Google know his old and lazy and ripe for the plucking :-(
