google dumps gears

sort of. google discontinues new development on gears, maintains support for ie and firefox, and dumps it altogether for safari. as i mentioned a few weeks ago, HTML5 is emerging as a strong standard, still under construction, and google sees they can do everything they want natively on HTML5. this does not bode well for adobe and flash. no way flash will be displaced any time soon, but apple and google pushing surely is going to cause adobe headaches.
