I think the author/editor of the article has liberally applied their artistic license to the facts. This seems fair enough for a newspaper, where their business relies on people reading it, so they have to make it interesting. There may be a future for online applications, such as google docs, adobe photoshop/premiere, media convertors. However online applications and the grid are not necessarily the same thing. One downside of online apps is the service provider is free to change the app for better or for worse (like remove some obscure feature used by power users) and they can also discontinue the service for copyright reasons, unprofitable, etc. Actually that reminds me of the incident with flickr where someone didn't know that their settings were marking uploaded images as "reusable" or whatever they call it and were surprised to find it used on billboards.
