App — the Most Abused Word In Tech?

[dannemare 21]

oh to true... "Until the iPhone came along, the word 'application' largely meant a self-contained piece of software installed on a PC or Mac. Then Apple took ownership, trimmed it to three letters, and within months the word 'app' became synonymous with small widgets of code for smartphones. Now, Google's pushing the boundaries of the 'app' definition even further. Google Chrome users will have seen a new addition to their browser recently: the Chrome Web Store. Here, you'll find dozens of 'apps' to install and run directly from a handy icon on the browser's home screen. Except, these aren't 'apps' at all. They're websites." http://tech.slashdot.org/story/11/02/03/1810253/App-mdash-the-Most-Abused-Word-In-Tech

Den slags er der sku mange ord som med tiden bliver udvandet, fordi alle bruger dem om alt...
