Great extension.

I really agree jumping between top level comments. Having to go through a whole branch of replies is a little frustrating.

Works well on Chrome 6 dev with a e6600 c2d which is quite old now.

IE 5.5 and 6.0. Neither of which are modern browsers.

Will someone please correct me if I'm wrong. But why is everyone worrying? Which browsers DON'T actually support gzip compression?

http://schroepl.net/projekte/mod_gzip/browser.htm This seems to suggest that all modern browsers support it.

The moving physical objects makes sense, touch makes sense. Learning a series of gestures to manipulate data on a screen makes less sense to me than a mouse.

The mouse is movement and control, the gestures need you to hold your hands in strange positions and move within a field of view (what the camera can see). An improved design will need to be intuitive.

Yeah, that python script (from StackOverflow London - http://norvig.com/spell-correct.html) that learned what was correct from a large number of words would work. Analyse your DB of users' email address url (after @) that have registered fully and provide a "Did you mean.." type response if a new users email url was not found and something close (within 2 alterations) to it was.

Better for us as developers but as for the user of the product (the person paying for/using it) it is not good. We are meant to have the problems and not just pass them to the users.

It's a plugin - meaning that we limit the users to using a subset of browsers (those with supported plugins) and forcing them to upgrade it when we want to use the latest features. This is NO worse than flash, it's just you write the apps in C/C++/Go rather than ActionScript.

I don't see the benefit; all I see is another Flash/Silverlight wannabe that puts more reliance on the user understanding their system/installed programs. This is not the future.

I liked the leaking of the list on "ikiwleaks.org"

I guess the page load is tested by loading a blank page and therefore just testing the networking stuff and not the rendering, javascript, etc.

Football Manager and CS Source work as long as you don't run it with an extended desktop over 2 screens.

I'd just lie with my head on my desk and be satisified with life. But I'm not sure if I'd actually BE happy. I may feel it but it would be rather shallow.

It's not like news is hard to come by on the internet. With the cost of switching to another site at effectively 0 there is no barrier to leaving.

What if something was to break down slowly over the period of a month - possibly sitting in the stomach? Providing the correct sustanance on any one given day.
