"Thanks for that Ethan. It's been a few years since I looked at the article and I've moved DBs a few times, so the slashes probably got stripped by some transfer mechanism along the way. I will update the post now. smp"

"Having looked at the Aptimize Web site (I unfortunately was not able to attend Velocity this year), it seems to do many of the things in a single package that Steve Souders recommends sites do to improve measured performance. However, as the above post notes, Aptimize is simply another in a long line of tools designed to fix the technical problem of poor Web performance. If Web performance is being examined after a site has been released, the question of how the site got out the door in the first place becomes even more important."

"Hate to say this, but when the fox watches the henhouse, who will you believe when chickens go missing? Agreed that Flash and Streaming tagging makes great sense for getting deep into user behavior. But in every case when a metrics or measurement vendor gets acquired, the question of 'How will this affect the independence of the results?' needs to be asked. If Adobiture declares that Flash is the only supported standard, this will provide a great opportunity for vendors who support other streaming and rich-media development environments, such as Silverlight. In effect, Adobe is limiting the scope of data that Omniture will be allowed to support. Unless there is a strong independent leader in the Omniture business unit, they risk becoming that analytics thing that Adobe let's us put in Flash."

"Jury's still out with us. After a botched install, we are waiting to see how Gutter Helmet does this fall and winter. We lost a set of back stairs to ice and snow after poor installation. Gutter Helmet is installed by franchisees, so your mileage may vary. Ask around and see what other people's experience has been."

"Roni: Been a few weeks, but if I remember, I downloaded using IE on the Dash 3G directly from skype.com, and it was auto-installed from that point. I suggest giving that a try, as it was seamless enough that I don't remember the process (which is more than I can say for the failed installs of Opera Mini). smp"

"I got skype to install without difficulty and have done a very limited amount of testing with it, mainly because I have a unlimited calling plan for the US. From everything I saw, it worked well. I can't think of any gotchas that might cause problems, but you may want to enable your WiFi (if it isn't) before installing."

Does it get so hot in Phoenix, Arizona that you can fry an egg on the sidewalk? I did the experiment, and you can see the pictures.

"The breakdown that I encounter tends to be heavily weighted towards synthetic measurements, but that may be because I work for a firm that still has a heavy emphasis on this method of data-gathering. Also, synthetic performance measurements are often seen or portrayed as less intrusive and invasive than the other methods. That does not take away from the effectiveness of usefulness of the data that is gathered from Browser-side and Server-side passive data collection. An effective Web performance strategy requires a holistic view of the site and a realization that one technology alone won't be enough to provide a clear perspective of the site's performance from a business, operations or customer perspective."

Great ideas tend to make so much sense that you wonder why they took so long. Here's another: USAA, a privately held bank/insurance company, is updating its iPhone app to let customers snap both sides of a check for deposits.

Working with distributed groups is a bit like learning to play golf. You're going to make mistakes, use a lot of 4-letter words, and start drinking early in the day.

A Missouri truck dealer hopes to reverse a nationwide slide in sales with a catchy offer: An AK-47 with every new truck purchase. The website for Max Motors of Butler, Mo., features a drawing of the Soviet-made assault rifle and an animated cartoon character wielding two handguns against the backdrop of a waving American flag. Mark Muller, owner of Max Motors, is upgrading an earlier sales gimmick in which he offered new truck buyers to...

Degree of 'okay' proportional to coffee need. Hate instant unless it is only option for caffeine addiction. (I am the coffee snob who roasts her own beans)
