The world is on Google Gears, I know that you know that Google is the inventor of what we need and they have done it again. All we need are web applications that can be switched to offline mode to take down hard software applications and Google has provided the means to do just that.

Google Gears is an open source browser extension that lets developers create web applications that can run offline.

According to google there are three modules (LocalServer, Database & WorkerPool) that are required in making your web applications work offline. The LocalServer module enables you to run a web application offline without an internet connection, the Database module provides a relational database that you can use for storing data and the WokerPool allows you to move database operations to the background when synchronizing large amounts of data.
