And out of the closet. Gap.com redesigns its interface entirely using AJAX concepts. Ladies and gentlemen Web 2.0 has finally left the labs.
Is it any better than any of the Flash e-commerce RIA’s out there? Time will tell, I guess. Shame it had to be Gap though. I mean really. Did their developers not read No Logo?
…and I may have got my team prediction a little wrong at the beginning of the season, but oh my God, what a way to end the most thrilling summer of cricket. Cometh the hour, cometh the man. All Hail King Kev.
