"apps" are the new "extensions" which were the new "plugins" which replaced "skins" which supplanted "themes". Or something like that.<p>How long before have to have this conversation:<p>"Our product needs to support user customization. We need apps!" "We have an extension framework." "But that's not apps!"<p>From <a href="http://www.utorrent.com/labs/griffin" rel="nofollow">http://www.utorrent.com/labs/griffin</a><p><i>The Griffin project introduces a web-based extensions framework for µTorrent to allow for easy extensibility by 3rd party developers through a simple API ... What we came up with is a web-based extensions framework where "Apps" which consist only of HTML and Javascript can be added to the client and displayed using an embedded browser window.</i>
