"Small web pages with several global functions and variables would not experience a noticeable affect. Web applications would probably not have a noticeable impact neither, but since the results are indisputable that the global space is slower, its curious that the performance conscious Google chose to deliver this code. The results are not staggering enough to cause anyone to change their coding habits, but they show a good argument for form following function. Working in local objects is not only a good idea for code organization and maintenance, it will perform better too." -Mike Wilcox, SitePen - DeWitt Clinton from Bookmarklet

I did a few measurements to try and corroborate this data, and it looks like it's nowhere near as clear-cut as suggested in this article. Details here: http://friendfeed.com/jgw... - Joel Webber

Demo of Google Wave. - Amit Patel from Bookmarklet

this is quite incredible, I can see google building social office onto of this.... Looks like they don't want to make money with this by selling wave servers to the enterprise as they plan to open- source the protocol... In that case MS will build exchange wave servers.., - Krishna Gade

Article about Patri Friedman (ex-Googler) and seasteading in Wired: "But even by local standards, the attendees gathered here are chasing a dream so grand and exotic it makes the typical Internet confab look like an OSHA seminar. Anyone can build a game-changing social-network platform or a virtual community or a set of open APIs. But the people here want to start a nonmetaphorical revolution by creating their own independent nations. In the middle of the ocean. On prefab floating platforms." - Bret Taylor from Bookmarklet

I wonder how his parents are considered to have 'endangered' him? Allowing him to play games which made him think he could drive? - Robin Barooah

"Using homemade lab equipment and the wealth of scientific knowledge available online, these hobbyists are trying to create new life forms through genetic engineering — a field long dominated by Ph.D.s toiling in university and corporate laboratories. In her San Francisco dining room lab, for example, 31-year-old computer programmer Meredith L. Patterson is trying to develop genetically altered yogurt bacteria that will glow green to signal the presence of melamine, the chemical that turned Chinese-made baby formula and pet food deadly. "People can really work on projects for the good of humanity while learning about something they want to learn about in the process," she said." - Paul Buchheit from Bookmarklet
