There are reasons we don't run web servers on our laptops. Putting the server inside the browser instance just makes these reasons more acute.
(Hey guys, I found this awesome site earlier today -- it has 16 hours of downtime a day, but scheduled irregularly, and any given session might be terminated at any time if the owner gets kicked out of the coffee shop where he is getting Wifi or quits out of Opera while playing WoW. Aside from that, yeah, awesome site.)
And they want to write web applications on this? Oh, THAT is going to be fun.

Ehrm, I do. It's great for developing on localhost and some quick sharing with someone near me.

I don't think they're aiming to "host" the next Google... From the site I gather that they want to run applications that are for the user of the browser to enjoy by doing something together with his/her buddies.
