Considering all the stuff we see around, the idea of a completely online OS gets closer and closer to reality, although I wouldn’t ever use such a thing and allow it to handle all my personal data as I do with the current OS I have (I use the good old Windows XP most of the time, by the way). These being said, it wasn’t such a big surprise to bump into JBEdit, but the surprise to find it was as sweet as always in such situations…
Sure, if I would see some Flash-powered online video editor, that wouldn’t be such a big thing, but JBEdit is an AJAX piece of code, based on jQuery! The editing capabilities rely on the server, and this is great, only that the features available aren’t exactly what you will usually get from a desktop program from the same category.
Basically, JBEdit allows you to extract a selection from a movie and tag it, and while the official project page seems to be down, you can get the code from SourceForge and play with it as you wish, since it comes under the terms of the GPL license, so it may be of some use to you – at least that’s what I hope…
