As a webmaster, you can use this simple meta tag that the new stable release of Google Chrome Frame can detect, and if present, will render the page using Google Chrome rather than Internet Explorer. This gives users the appearance of using IE, but the speed and standards compliance, and security of Chrome."

Does Google Censor Tiananmen Square? How To Create an Internet Hoax « Aza on Design

Answer: no. Clever hack with security implications. "In effect, this is taking the old phishing trick of homoglyph attacks—an attack consisting of using confusing look-a-like URLs like paypa1.com with the numeral one replacing the letter ell—and adding a dash of cross-site scripting but where you become the agent of infection: the supposed “censorship” may be shocking enough to cause you to forward the link."

High Performance Web Sites :: Diffable: only download the deltas

"Diffable uses differential compression to reduce the size of JavaScript downloads. It makes a lot of sense. Suppose your web site has a large external script. When a new release comes out, it’s often the case that a bulk of that large script is unchanged. And yet, users have to download the entire new script even if the old script is still cached."

YouTube Blog: Broadcast Yourself

"For years, Viacom continuously and secretly uploaded its content to YouTube, even while publicly complaining about its presence there. It hired no fewer than 18 different marketing agencies to upload its content to the site. It deliberately "roughed up" the videos to make them look stolen or leaked. It opened YouTube accounts using phony email addresses. It even sent employees to Kinko's to upload clips from computers that couldn't be traced to Viacom. And in an effort to promote its own shows, as a matter of company policy Viacom routinely left up clips from shows that had been uploaded to YouTube by ordinary users."

The monetization paradox (or why Google is not my friend) - Charlie's Diary

"What I really need is some kind of subscription model that makes the disintermediating depradations of Google strictly irrelevant. So this leads me to ask what new business models exist that I can monetize and that aren't going to (a) be devalued by Google, (b) undercut by infinite free bandwidth, or (c) require an old dog to learn new skills (like cat-emulation, or screenwriting)?"

Adactio: Journal—Microformation

"Google announced that it was following in the footsteps of Yahoo’s SearchMonkey in indexing microformats and RDFa to display in search results. For now, it’s a subset of microformats—hCard and hReview—on a subset of websites, including the newly microformated Yelp. The list of approved sites will increase over time so if you’re already publishing structured contact and review information, let Google know about it. But the other new announcement is equally important. After a lot of hard work, the value class pattern is ready for use."
