AJAX or AHAB???

Recently I was going through Peter Bromberg's blog and happened to go through his archives. I saw the article This Just In: AJAX doesnt Have to be -- AJAX, which was sort of his views (against) about the AJAX hype. Google certainly seems to have upped the hype on this very OLD technology by incorporating it in almost all of its products. As the term Google is growing in the market, so is the term AJAX. Every web developer wants to use XMLHTTP web requests in order to seamlessly integrate page post backs and add his/her own touch of Googleism to his/her website (even I have tried that and my current application is completely done using XMLHTTP web requests)
