Soon we'll all be running all our applications in facebook or googleplus or icloud, in a browser, in a virtual machine, on a proprietary-blob-driven all-in-one device.

Apps will be announced with huge fanfare (the most innovative thing ever), they'll show up in front of you without any action required on your part, they will change drastically in front of your eyes, corner cases will be buggy, and then in a few months to a couple of years they'll disappear forever.

yay, the future is almost here

> corner cases will be buggy

This is where you are wrong. It is much easier catch and fix bugs in cloud software.

But how much effort will you spend on edge cases?

[dzhiurgis]

Just as much as with other technology, but with web apps there are simply less of them.
