"<meta http-equiv=”X-UA-Compatible” content=”ie=edge,chrome=1″>
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."

Good stats. "If you’re using jQuery on a public-facing site, use the Google CDN to host it." But don't use latest version in production.

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 stevesouders.com
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.

Yay etc.
This codelab shows how web application vulnerabilities can be exploited and how to defend against these attacks. The best way to learn things is by doing, so you'll get a chance to do some real penetration testing, actually exploiting a real application.

- Official Google Enterprise Blog: Modern browsers for modern applications googleenterprise.blogspot.com
Google gradually dropping support for IE6. "Many other companies have already stopped supporting older browsers like Internet Explorer 6.0 as well as browsers that are not supported by their own manufacturers. We’re also going to begin phasing out our support, starting with Google Docs and Google Sites."
A Python script that uses [the Webfaction] API to create all of the DNS overrides you need to use Google Apps for your email.
To check in you need three conditions met: You need someone to review it and say it looks good. You need to be certified in the language – basically, you’ve proven you know the style of this language – called “readability.” And then you also need the approval from somebody in the owner’s file in that directory.

A classic quote from last time round: "The Borg-Yahoo merger won't work. Here's why. It's like taking the two guys who finished second and third in a 100-yard dash and tying their legs together and asking for a rematch, believing that now they'll run faster."

Google has started looking for microformats and RDFa. Finally, something concrete to put in front of clients when arguing for microformats.
- Adactio: Journal—Microformation adactio.com
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.
