    Business Insider[^]:

    Earlier this week, Google announced a new experiment that lets Android users "stream" a select handful of apps through mobile search without downloading them.

    Apps that run without being installed? Didn't we call those viruses?

      There are plenty of legit apps that run without being formally installed. Doesn't make them a virus.

          So, they re-invented websites? Now please tell me that they use web techniques for the implementation.

            I was under the impression that any sort of web development demands constant reinventing.

              Depends on whether or not the user give permission. I recall several 'legit' applications (you know, stuff that runs on a computer, not a phone) that behaved like a virus would. It is a funny article to read though. Did you know you need Wi-Fi to access a cloud?

              Google makes this possible by letting the apps run remotely on virtual machines through its cloud platform. (You'll need to be connected to Wi-Fi for the process to work.)
