Gablarski criticizes all of us who laughed at this patent, saying that it doesn't cover what we think it does. He highlights this section:

A host computer, containing processes for creating rich-media applications, is accessed from a remote user computer system via an Internet connection. User account information and rich-media component specifications are uploaded over the Internet for a specific user account. Rich-media applications are created, deleted, or modified in a user account, with rich-media components added to, modified in, or deleted from the rich-media application based on information contained in a user request. After creation, the rich-media application is viewed or saved on the host computer system, or downloaded to the user computer system over the Internet.

And says this:

Now read that very carefully. People are apparently reading the first sentence and stopping. This isn’t a list of “or”s here, the patent covers a piece of technology that incorporates ALL these things, not one or the other. This patent covers an application that is specifically designed to CREATE and manage multiple RIAs under a user account and either host them for the user or make them available for download. That’s the patent. Make more sense? It makes me wonder if people are really that stupid or if they’re just not reading everything.

Hmm. You mean like cookies interacting with a server to determine access and so on? Gee, that's never been done before either. So yeah, your AJAX application is fine, just so long as there's no user associated state involved. I stand by my original criticism.
