Ach, yet another up-to-date yet incomplete picture of what is going on with the latest browser speeds. Great they've done the work, but my head is starting to spin from all the recent related posts on this matter.
Is there not a site/service that compiles speed/etc info from automated tests on browser nightlies/etc? Surely it can't be that hard (for someone, unlike me, who can programme:)?
Make a site that is a great resource to all things Open. Not just software or hardware, but open culture, architecture, design, access, etc. Be educational yet very handy so as to better inform and enthuse users as to what communities and resources are out there and how they can participate, either globally or locally. Be a hub site to help join the dots and frame how fantastic the idea of Open is.

In what kind of instances might a test reboot be advisable after a change? Obviously our overlords have not felt the need to follow this particular advice..
Thanks, although I was after more of a somewhat open project. I mean, I know there is a lot that has been done with more common wifi equipment, but do many folk hack at that kind of level but any of the newer ideas or such?
Might any of the existing or proposed wireless standards be anywhere close to a potential candidate for a decenteralised wifi internet to be built upon?
Might this kinda thing be hackable? And what kind of price? What kind of protocols could this do? Are there others like it out there that do a similar or better job but almost as small? Software radio? Might this fit in some new kind of communication stack paradigm?
The key to social network interoperability is the 'OStatus' suite of protocols and formats. Diaspora will be implementing this, but what really exited me the other day was the first open source implementations of OStatus communication between Status.net (wot powers identi.ca, etc) and itself (screencast is available via the link above) based on the Federated Social Web's SWAT0 test, and then shortly afterwards other systems (MiniMe). Work is under way to implement this in other systems such as ELGG, Drupal, WordPress, Google Buzz, Diaspora, etc. Some probably slightly out of date info on this can be found on the Status.net wiki.
a suite of protocols and formats have been developed over the years to achieve this. look for the Data Portability movement for one or the largest groupings of like minded folk, although the dev action is fairly distributed.
the current two interesting things to watch is the development of OAuth 2, for distributed apps, which will help with the sharing of the various open standards of profile information and the like, and the Google Buzz method of using Salmon and PubSubHubbub to aggregate comments to an article.
i'm looking forward to being able to connect WordPress, Drupal, etc, sites together to aggregate community content.
How long before someone snuffs it on Facebook before their time?
I'm sure hundreds have already. I'd expect their friends and relatives would appreciate this service, but I wonder how they're going to deal with photoshopped obituaries. I'd expect they'd naturally try to contact the user directly, but what if they're AFK for a number of days or more?
The existence of a file format to encompass an EP or LP style collection of files is a nice idea. There exists.cbr and.cbz for comic book files and other such container formats, so why not for music files? And yeah, throw in a menu and some info, why not,.mkv does this for video files for those who want to use that aspect of the format. But I'm surprised that music lovers/developers haven't come up with something like this before, and I find it kind of funny that now Apple has got in there first and there are complaints. How they manage iTunes aside, can't people who are interested in something like this get together and bash out an Open Format to do the same, either based on this format from Apple or something better? Sure it wouldn't impact the way many people use music files at first, but.png,.rss, and many more formats were in the same position when they came onto the scene.

That's a bit of false dichotomy. There is a plurality of potential progressive political systems with features likes transparency, participatory and direct democracy, decentralisation, etc, that would work as checks and balances to avoid the bad aspects of "big government".
"The Crown Prosecution Service, or CPS, is a non-ministerial department of the Government of the United Kingdom responsible for public prosecutions of people charged with criminal offences in England and Wales. Its role is similar to that of the longer-established Crown Office in Scotland, and the Public Prosecution Service in Northern Ireland. The CPS is headed by the Director of Public Prosecutions (currently Keir Starmer QC) who answers to the Attorney General for England and Wales (currently The Baroness Scotland of Asthal).
"The Crown Prosecution Service is responsible for criminal cases beyond the investigation, which is the job of the police. This involves giving advice to the police on charges to bring, and being responsible for authorising all but a very few simple charges (such as begging), and preparing and presenting cases for court, both in magistrates' courts and, increasingly, the Crown Court."

Oh groan, best use of that tag on /. so far.
Pretty much! Maybe that could be a bit more explanatory, but the blocker currently is that their Linux test box charts are rather broken.

If there's a USA wish/murmur to combat bad things on the internet, why not pull another Tor and fund development of things like DNCCurve/CurveCP through this?

The fact Google redistributed the files in their own source repo is legally bad, no?

The problem is that it's only a pseudo-TAZ. Their rules do not trump US law.

But no; this is a step back towards the bad old days of Not-Invented-Here syndrome at Apple.
hah! yeah, like with Firewire on their current range of mp3 players..
oh, wait...
