Re: Amazon's S3 failure warns should go slow

Absolutely. I'm definitely not sold that RIAs are a replacement to standard desktop applications. If ever you can't get online, for whatever reason, there's no productivity; like on an airplane. In the air, I can still work on Word docs, PPTs, coding, local website development, etc. The only thing that could drive me to net-based apps, everything else being equal (which it's not) is significant cost savings.

There are lots of ideas where RIAs do make sense, but replacing business-critical applications? I'm very skeptical.

 hm. where i work, most of our applications are already web based interfaces to databases and such.
it sucks. seriously hard.
when things get busy and there's alot of us accessing the same interface, things slow to a crawl.
it might be that the underlying access structure is badly done, or it might be that having everything being sent back and forth over an https connection is a bad idea. who knows.

personally i think it's kind of silly. i can see how it would be useful for some things, but... to be honest, it just seems like a bad way to do things because there's that many more steps between user input and final output for things to go wrong.
