Official Google Blog: A fresh take on the browser.

Google Gears for Safari Beta Released
Google Gears is a project from Google that allows web applications to interact with your desktop, store data locally on your machine, and perform resource-intensive JavaScript tasks asynchronously.
A few days ago, Google released a beta version of Google Gears for Safari on Mac OSX, and I’ve given it a try, mainly for WordPress:
With the release of WordPress 2.6, WordPress added a ‘Turbo’ option, available in the top right corner of the WordPress admin screen. This uses Google Gears to speed up the use of the admin interface on your blog, by caching some of the files locally. I’ve given it a try, and I think I can notice a nice speed boost, definitely useful for managing my blog, and writing on Mac Fan Boy of course!
