Sir: Understood. But as you have noticed, I do take execption to your first answer. I am in the exact same position as Balamurugan, so I would like facts or as close as possible to them.
I have searched everywhere re. the L.A. Times article (You may even be able to find my posting on this board re. this as soon as I saw it). But I also know that HTML5 is still a promise (pls. let me know how many browsers support the functionality of Gears today) and it may replace Gears at some point in time, but today, it is just a proposal. Re. your PPS, note that it discusses the Gears run-time, not the code that is part of the browser. If you know where I can obtain that part, I would appreciate it, as if Gears is being abandoned, it is a necessary piece to keep Gears apps running (until HTML5 can fully do what Gears does, at which time I will jump ship). Maybe this will allow you to drop the Mr part from your next message. It is not necessary. I have been around long enough to have dealt with many co's use of FUD, and believe that the L.A. Times article is an attempt at it. Again IMHO.
