Open Source AJAX Webmail 311
scrasher writes "It seems AJAX webmail is all the craze. Right on the heels of both Microsoft and Yahoo launching beta versions of their new AJAX webmail clients, an Open Source startup RoundCube has released an alpha of a GPLed AJAX webmail client. While there are still many features missing (like search!), the demo they have is completely cross-browser compliant and overall very impressive."

And they also need to fall back to printed paper for people without computers. And spoken word for people who can't read.
Javascript is an accepted WWW standard. There is no reason for any app developer to not use javascript to his heart's content.

I love how simple it is to navigate! The features leave something to be desired though. Hey check me out, I just wrote a CNet review!

It's technology that already had a name and doesn't need a new one.
And why not call P2P FTP cause thats what it is...
And IM is just email...
And cars are really just horseless carriages...
Now speakin of horses, get off the high one you are on and move on.
If you don't like ajax go ahead and call it Javascript XMLHttpRequest objects or whatever floats your large water displacing transportation vessel (Boat for those that can stand short easy to use references to new techology!).
We all know that you've been using it since dipers were nothing more that squares of cloth and only men were allowed to use computers, and you can continue living life knowing you are superior to the rest of us that call it Ajax.
Now now... don't cry.. heres a Kleenex... I mean facial tissue too dry your eyes.
