Mozilla Prism – Blurring the web, desktop, and mobile apps

When visiting my friend Mark, he introduced me to a simple app called fluid. This OS X application captures web apps and lets you run them as embedded in a window like a native application. Then he showed me why that was even significant. He then pulled up a digg link he made. Then a reddit one. He continued to show off other cool features and stuff. Then he told me some sad news. Fluid is only for OS X. Then after he knew he had crushed my spirits, he told me about prism being "The one for Linux." When I finally got-round to checking it out, I realized I had indeed heard about it a while back and that being more than just "the Linux one" it was fully cross platform.
