Introducing Amazon Silk
So it's OnLive for webpages; putting the client-side on the server-side. Well, half (or a dynamically allocated proportion) anyway.<p>But compositing dozens of network fetches from the same cloud, centrally caching the rest, and predictive pre-fetch are big wins. The endless traipsing back-and-forth is frustrating even on the desktop.
These aren't new ideas, but if Amazon implements them to deliver a better experience, users won't care - and neither will you. A sad truth for pioneers.<p>Also gives Amazon a competitive advantage: host <i>all</i> your stuff with us, users will love you (google's experiments showed that even fraction-of-a-second latency loses users.)<p><i>EDIT</i> but... amazon.com is one of the slowest websites on the internet for me, and I'd expect them to be doing all of the above on their own site...
