From boing boingGoogle Accelerator is bad news for Web apps

Google Accelerator wreaks havoc on Web-apps by "clicking every link" on
every control screen in order to cache it -- so it also ends up
clicking on "Delete my account" and "Launch pre-emptive nuclear
strike," etc.

The accelerator scours a page and prefetches the
content behind each link. This gives the illusion of pages loading

SINGAPORE: FEES FOR HIRING FOREIGN WORKERS TO INCREASE

The Singapore Ministry of Manpower (MOM) has announced two

In the people web, a word often quoted by those who support the
ability for interaction of socio groups via web enabled technology is

the world.  I saw this on Slate and thought to share."Syria Out!"By David Wallace-WellsPosted Monday, Feb. 28, 2005, at 5:38 PM PT
"Syria out!": Lebanese Prime Minister Omar Karami resigned
this morning, dissolving the nation's unpopular, pro-Syrian government
in the face of nationalist protest that followed the assassination of
former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. Reporting from Beirut,
linguist/blogger Caveman estimates
that 200,000 protestors gathered in the streets in anticipation of a
vote of no-confidence in Karami's government. Jim Geraghty of the National Review sees a pattern.
"Substitute red and white for the Yuschenko orange," he writes, "and it
looks like the same defiant but almost jubilant crowd the world saw in
Ukraine."
