Mozilla Labs: Prism
Like the recently launched OpenSocial from Google, which brings web applications into socially interactive among each other, Prism of Mozilla Labs cuts the line between traditional desktop applications with web applications.
According to Mozilla Labs, “Unlike Adobe AIR and Microsoft Silverlight, we’re not building a proprietary platform to replace the web. We think the web is a powerful and open platform for this sort of innovation, so our goal is to identify and facilitate the development of enhancements that bring the advantages of desktop apps to the web platform.”
What is Prism?
Prism is an application that lets users split web applications out of their browser and run them directly on their desktop.
Prism lets users add their favorite web apps to their desktop environment. They are accessible with Control-Tab, Command-Tab, and Exposé, just like desktop apps. And users can still access these same applications from any web browser when they are away from their own computers.
