Comment Why custom GUI app? (Score 1) 264

This problem has been solved time and time again using web browsers. Even the big GUI app companies are starting to produce extremely capable versions of non-intensive tools in the browser.

Really for database/form-based apps, I can see absolutely no compelling reason to use Glade or GTK (or C++ or Mono) for this.

Much as I respect Mozilla as an organisation, even a quad core phone is worse at interpreting web-stack apps than byte-compiled or actual compiled code. I don't understand how lower processing power and higher processing requirements are going to solve anybody's problems.

About 5 years ago I stopped investing in American companies. Why? Because I didn't want to support even indirectly a regime that, without apology, oppressed many South American countries, and also supported the despotic regime of Iran, back when it suited them. I hold them largely responsible for sacrificing millions of my long-separated brothers (yes, I'm ethnic Iraqi Arab) through starvation and torture simply to keep a "buffer state" in between them and the insane near-nuclear powers of Iran (ha ha, what irony).
