Google Gears

YOUR ONLINE STUFF, OFFLINE

As more of your everyday computing—e-mail, finances, blog reading—moves to Web-based applications, being disconnected can leave you stranded. With Google Gears programming tools, sites store info (your e-mail, say) in a database on your computer along with a local copy of the Web-based program, so you can work on it even offline. When you next connect, Gears can update the online version with your latest changes. Free; google.com
