Google Speaks on Net Neutrality and Benefits of caching
In this post on the google blog,http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2008/12/net-neutrality-and-benefits-of-caching.html , Google speaks about how people are confused on the net neutrality and the use of edge caching.
I find it interesting that someone could take the usage of CDN’s as an act of an un neutral web.
The act of handling certain traffic as more important than other traffic is the act of an un neutral web. Developers should consider these words carefully.
Breathalyzer for your Gmail
Personally, I think this is a pretty neat little gizmo. Basically, in a blog post at: http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2008/10/new-in-labs-stop-sending-mail-you-later.html
All you have to do is answer a few simple math problems, and boom, off it goes. I think the idea here is it gives you a second chance to reconsider your email. And, if you’re too drunk to think of an answer, perhaps you should wait till the next day to send it.
I think it’s neat, and of course, you can turn it on and off, so if anyone is complaining about that, well, they’re just silly.
