What makes Modernizr different from a lot of other, existing approaches is that it doesn’t use any UserAgent sniffing at all—in fact, Modernizr was partially designed and developed precisely to put an end to UA sniffing. It is a bad, unsafe and unreliable practice so the more alternatives we have to do it right, the better.

Firefox 3.5 used the smallest amount of memory during its peak, it used the smallest amount of memory when all points were averaged, and it used the smallest amount of memory at the end of the experiment after all tabs were closed. Firefox 3.5 continues Firefox 3.0's legacy of being the most memory efficient browser in this style of experiment.

A noter le "in this kind of experiment". Le test en lui-même ne montre pas grand chose, il est biaisé initialement par le fait que Windows gère mal la mémoire dans le sens où il ne maximise pas l'utilisation de la RAM. La seule chose importante est de savoir si la mémoire utilisée est la RAM ou la mémoire virtuelle (ie. un bête fichier). Tant qu'on reste dans la RAM, il n'y a pas de problème, et de ce point de vue là, une utilisation par Chrome de 1Go de mémoire sur les 4Go de mémoire physique (configuration du test) n'est pas forcément négatif au niveau des performances. De même, si la faible consommation de mémoire de Firefox est due à un nettoyage aggressif des structures de données temporaires, ça peut être pénalisant en vitesse. Mais étant donné que ce test ne regarde que la mémoire (espace) et pas la vitesse (temps), les conclusions ne peuvent être que très limitées. La remarque sur IE8 ne fait pas très sérieux...

There are ninety versions of this panorama, each depicting the same scene under a different weather condition, time of day, and (at night) phase of the moon.

Thanks to an XML feed from weather.com, and some PHP jiggery pokery, the end result is a fairly accurate representation of what my parents see when they look out of their upstairs windows.

This is not about news, this is about information. This is not about just being “notified” of happenings, but about being informed to debate, create oneself a state of opinion and act. This is not about journalism, this is about government and democracy and freedom.

Working in an office, you often find it difficult to see any tangible result from your efforts. What exactly have you accomplished at the end of any given day?

Fascinating and very interesting. I may add another law to your experiment, though it would have to be repeated again to see if it's working.

Law 3: A fractal pattern encourages participation.

A fractal pattern is simple enough that the gratification is direct. One can draw a small shape which already makes sense to the person. (I have participated!). But because of the self-structure of fractal pattern, one is participating to a bigger scheme. Sense of collective achievement with grand goals.

Once the structure is big enough, it becomes visible, organized and then it is an object of power, which in return is its weakness. (Colonial states versus Guerrilla/Terrorism). Wikipedia becomes so big that it fights for copyright or have editors censoring content.

Though I kind of disagree with the conclusion of blogs versus wikis. Blogs are indeed easier to maintain but would it be because wikis are not really object of the commons, aka, there is still someone owning the object, it is a property of someone in the end.

I wonder also if there is a density rule in action. A tribe in a large forest with free will to move as they please versus a piece of land with a lot of people. There is very little destruction when the space is infinite. Take the drawing above and imagine a space which is infinite (possible in digital space), would participant try to destroy the work of others or just go further away to do their own drawing?
