I want that job. - jerryjamesstone, on 06/25/2009, -1/+27Can we also make it better?
- aahpandasrun, on 06/26/2009, -0/+12first order of business: FLASH!!!
- nextekcarl, on 06/26/2009, -0/+12I thought that referred to the viagra emails I keep getting.
- sonofabiscuit, on 06/26/2009, -0/+12I agree. I'm pretty surprised an open source alternative isn't widely popular yet.
- inigomntoya, on 06/26/2009, -2/+12No. You have three choices - faster, better, or cheaper. You can only pick one and the future of the world wide web hinges on the competence of your decision making power.
Good luck. - XxEric03xX, on 06/26/2009, -1/+10I think we should make it harder.
- kojot350, on 06/26/2009, -0/+9Actually you can pick two.
- mytruehero, on 06/26/2009, -3/+12Here's a good place to start.

You say this in a digg comment page? - ghounds07, on 06/26/2009, -3/+10those were some of the worst speakers ever...

- inigomntoya, on 06/26/2009, -0/+4I yearn for a direct brain interface so I can google search while I am mowing the lawn or (gasp) driving home...
- phosphor112, on 06/26/2009, -0/+3Lol, why is your upload faster than your download!?
- mrfish, on 06/26/2009, -0/+3Your girlfriend didn't send us a glowing recommendation for your application to be a 'Performance Evangelist' , but good news!, she recommended you for "Don't worry it can happens to anyone" Evangelist!
- phosphor112, on 06/26/2009, -0/+3I'm not ok with internet speeds at the moment.
1.5mbps is the fastest in my area.

- SPARTACVS, on 06/26/2009, -0/+3The whole "will help the entire world thing" isn't what I would call disingenuous, but it's surely not what prompted them to start these projects. More like $$$.
If everyone in the world could load web pages half as fast as they do now, they can visit twice as many web pages in the same time given. If people are visiting twice as many web pages, Google makes twice as much ad money.
The load time average over the entire web is inversely proportional to their only major source of revenue. - deff, on 06/26/2009, -0/+3http://www.speedtest.net/result/504129355.png
I love my ISP. Its a small town Co-Op. No caps, throttling and awesome support and at $45 a month, I have no complaints. - inigomntoya, on 06/26/2009, -1/+3I am afraid they will need to pay someone to dress them as well...
- phosphor112, on 06/26/2009, -1/+3You've got to be kidding me...If I wanted those speeds, I would need to pay 100 a month...
- Nephersir7, on 06/26/2009, -0/+2http://www.speedtest.net/result/504124450.png
heavily throttled, unreliable, $50 a month, but at least i have no cap - 4degrees, on 06/26/2009, -0/+2http://www.speedtest.net/result/504408312.png
not bad for 1700 miles. (like distance, not hops matter) - latpack, on 06/26/2009, -0/+2The internets is slow over here as well (Canada). Fast, but not quite at the "I can do anything without slowdown!" point.
- nawitus, on 06/26/2009, -0/+2Here's an idea: start to load (but don't render!) a webpage when you hover on a link. If you "unhover" the link then just stop the pre-load. Simple thing like this might not seem like that much, but can actually reduce loading times like 10-20%.. I'd say worth it.
- jackd42o, on 06/26/2009, -0/+2Does anyone else think Google's an alien entity bent on advancing humanity?

I've seen higher upload speeds on filefront. Weird >_> - armbar, on 06/26/2009, -0/+2Yeah, because the conformance to the HTML spec has anything to do with making the web faster. We're talking nanoseconds for parsing SGML derivatives; meanwhile, your ISP is bottlenecking you to 10MBps or less, most likely.
Besides, Google intentionally uses invalid HTML because it's more compact in size, reducing their throughput, processing, and bandwidth.
Finally, you checked it against the HTML 5 spec, which isn't even accepted yet, and Google is clearly using a DOCTYPE that defaults to a version of HTML 4.01.
Web standards are great, but they are for conformance problems, not performance problems. - ripter, on 06/26/2009, -0/+2Removing optional HTML tags? Really? Isn't it a good idea to always close your tags? I find this is especially necessary for list items.
- fquednau, on 06/26/2009, -0/+2is there one to pdf? and if so, is it popular?
- scotchw, on 06/26/2009, -1/+3I thought I'd check out what Google has in mind.
Can't say I'm too impressed so far...
http://i42.tinypic.com/1hdld0.jpg - Myztry, on 06/26/2009, -0/+2I didn't even recongnise him as being Indian until he spoke. I could understand him but Indian speakers of English are the most difficult to understand out of all the accents. Even harder than the Chinese.
- geminito, on 06/26/2009, -0/+1That presentation had no content at all. As long as there are developers who don't know how to tune their database performance, there will be slow websites. And that's just one example.
- thebrokenlight, on 06/26/2009, -1/+2Yeah, because that makes any sense at all.
- bobertoq, on 06/26/2009, -0/+1http://www.speedtest.net/result/406002494.png
- MasterQ, on 06/28/2009, -0/+1Unfortunately no... not while microsoft holds the market share.
- doma, on 06/26/2009, -0/+1i did a ctrl+f on these comments to see if anyone had the same thought
