"Apple and Microsoft began decades ago with “the PC,” and they’re currently..."

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 11:48:40 -0500

“Apple and Microsoft began decades ago with “the PC,” and they’re currently involved in a slow and painful process of trying to stretch and push “the PC” out towards the Internet and towards a more useful and integrated relationship with the cloud as a new type of server. Google, on the other hand, began with the Internet, and it presumes the cloud in everything it does. With Chrome OS, the company is now trying to push and stretch the Internet back down onto “the PC” as just one of a growing range of cloud clients. Google acknowledged that it will eventually move Chrome OS to laptops and conventional PCs, so the Chrome OS portable is just Google’s first battle in a long, ambitious campaign to thoroughly cloudify the entire computing experience.”

McSweeney's: Has Bell Invented a "Telegraph Killer"?

McSweeney's: Has Bell Invented a "Telegraph Killer"?:

This week Bell Labs plans to roll out the Telephone, the first viable Telegraph alternative, but reports indicate they may not be ready. Many of the rollers are said to be jammed and the Telephone might have to be carried out instead. For agreeing to help lift the contraption, we have been given exclusive access to what experts are already calling “a device which emits sound and is not filled with bees.”

SPDY: An experimental protocol for a faster web

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 22:22:48 -0500

SPDY: An experimental protocol for a faster web:

I saw this described elsewhere as Google’s version of “embrace and extend” but what makes it tolerable - nay, encourageable - is the open source nature; Google engineers have started the ball rolling and now they’re putting all of it out there to see if it sticks. But, can it topple HTTP?

clint:

One of these experiments is SPDY (pronounced “SPeeDY”), an application-layer protocol for transporting content over the web, designed specifically for minimal latency. In addition to a specification of the protocol, we have developed a SPDY-enabled Google Chrome browser and open-source web server. In lab tests, we have compared the performance of these applications over HTTP and SPDY, and have observed up to 64% reductions in page load times in SPDY. We hope to engage the open source community to contribute ideas, feedback, code, and test results, to make SPDY the next-generation application protocol for a faster web.

“It is impossible for me to overstate the opportunity this country has given me. In many ways, the fortune I have enjoyed with Google exemplifies the American dream, but to me that is just the tip of the iceberg. Reflecting upon my life, I have many basic freedoms that my parents did not — the ability to pursue my interests in school and university, the choices in jobs, the freedom to live in the place of my choosing, and ultimately the ability to pursue my own enterprise.”
