GARAGE SALE CRASHED ALOT

DO NOT BUY UNTIL THEY GET STABLE

OK; as long as you're happy using it, I won't try to rain on your parade.

It's not lame because it's useful to me.

My browser doesn't crash anymore since I'm using 1.5 now.

It's not lame or silly because:
No memory leaks from keeping ff open.
Small and lightweight. No nav just two small bars top and bottom.
independent from the two browsers I use. If I were to use ff or Safari and take out the navs then it would screw up my other windows. You've already said it wouldn't but when you restart it's now the default.
Any setting on ff or Safari wont mess with the wrapper and vise-verse.
One click start. Pretty much a bookmark in my task bar that doesn't mess with my other browsers.
It uses mozilla.
It does everything I'd ever need it to.
It makes gcal more of an app independent of any web browser.
I find it useful.

I also find myself using it more because you think it's so lame.

I wasn't trying to look for faults in your comments, I just didn't know what you meant by "what's it going to take...". I guess if the goal is to convince me that it's not lame, you'd have to bring up something that makes it useful that I haven't already considered before, and considering the simplicity of this application, I'm not sure if there are any more details of that nature.

Hopefully it came across that I (of course) don't think it would be a good idea to wrap eBay inside a pseudo-browser "application" either; I was just using that to poke fun at gCal.

Not to get too deep into the whole gCal debate again, but a "better solution" to me would be to just run Google Calendar in whatever browser you normally use. If that browser is so badly jacked up that it's crashing all the time then you have bigger problems that would need to be fixed.

Like I said before, I won't try to talk you out of it, but I still reserve the right to laugh about it since I still think it's a bit silly.

What is it going to take for you to think it's not "lame"?

Even though my description isn't perfect it still explains why eBay wouldn't be good idea for a wrapper while Google Cal would. Stop trying to just find faults in my comments and look at what I'm trying to say. A wrapper for an online application were you don't need to browse is useful to many people, not everyone but more then a few.

And I still haven't heard of a better solution. So really what's your point? Other then you think it's lame.

What's it going to take for what? I'm mostly just making a joke about how lame of an idea I still think gCal is. As silly as it would be to wrap up ebay (or any other web site/application) in a locked in browser window is exactly why I think gCal is cheesy.

There are lots of applications (desktop and/or web based) that have a lot of pages/screens, so the distinction between applications and web sites can be a bit blurry.

Gcal is one page (maybe two) and eBay has multiple pages where you would need to browse the entire site.

What is it going to take? gCal to release a desktop client that doesn't use a wrapper but does the same exact thing?

What makes Google Calendar an application but not ebay?

You're such a dork. When will you realize a wrapped application is useful to some, not a webpage but an application, which gcal is.

:)

Yeah, I wouldn't think anyone would use that kind of application either, but apparently they do.

Noone would ever use that.

Whew, for a minute there I thought this was just going to be a gCal-ish buttonless browser mod that just went to the ebay site.

Hey, maybe I should make that... I could call it iBay.
