Apple Moving to the Cloud for iWork? Is iTunes Far Behind?

TechCrunch spotted an ad from Apple, looking for a programmer for iWork to bring the suite online via javascript. The job posting said:

The Productivity team (i.e. iWork) is seeking an energetic, highly motivated software engineer in building a scalable rich internet application. The person will be part of the core development team and engage in an area from design to development of the software system.

Besides exceptional programming skills and devotion to creating great software, we look for one or more of the following kinds of expertise or experience:

• JavaScript language and browser technology – understanding from inside-out, or
• Computer graphics – the mathematics, algorithms and programming, or
• Experience developing scalable rich internet application, or
• Experience developing presentation/collaboration or word processing projects

BS or better in Computer Science or Electrical Engineering

So, this means Apple is looking to move some of their software into online compatible modes. With what we know of their LaLa purchase, and the rumors surrounding that, maybe iTunes will follow suit this year.
