While most kids are out in the park playing with their dogs, 10 year old Zoe Pemberton put her 61 year old grandmother, Marian Goldall up for sale. I guess her grandmother's incessant nagging was too much to take, and with a laptop right in front of her, she came up with an ingenious idea of selling her granny on eBay.

According to Yahoo!'s Exceptional Performance Team, 40% to 60% of Yahoo!'s users have an empty cache experience and about 20% of all page views are done with an empty cache (see this article by Tenni Theurer on the YUIBlog for more information on browser cache usage). This fact outlines the importance of keeping web pages as lightweight as possible. Improving the engineering design of a page or a web application usually yields the biggest savings and that should always be a primary strategy. With the right design in place, there are many secondary strategies for improving performance such as minification of the code, HTTP compression, using CSS sprites, etc. In terms of code minification, the most widely used tools to minify JavaScript code are Douglas Crockford's JSMIN, the Dojo compressor and Dean Edwards' Packer. Each of these tools, however, has drawbacks. JSMIN, for example, does not yield optimal savings (due to its simple algorithm, it must leave many line feed characters in the code in order not to introduce any new bugs). The goal of JavaScript and CSS minification is always to preserve the operational qualities of the code while reducing its overall byte footprint (both in raw terms and after gzipping, as most JavaScript and CSS served from production web servers is gzipped as part of the HTTP protocol). The YUI Compressor is JavaScript minifier designed to be 100% safe and yield a higher compression ratio than most other tools. Tests on the YUI Library have shown savings of over 20% compared to JSMin (becoming 10% after HTTP compression). Starting with version 2.0, the YUI Compressor is also able to compress CSS files by using a port of Isaac Schlueter's regular-expression-based CSS minifier.

The Dependent Web is dominated by companies that deliver services, content and advertising based on who that service believes you to be: What you see on these sites "depends" on their proprietary model of your identity, including what you've done in the past, what you're doing right now, what "cohorts" you might fall into based on third- or first-party data and algorithms, and any number of other robust signals. The Independent Web, for the most part, does not shift its content or services based on who you are. Who we believe we are in the world is pretty fundamental to being human, and as we bleed our actual identity into our digital one, it's worth recalling that so far, at least, we don't have a system that lets us really instrument who we are online in a fashion that scales to the complexity of true human interaction. I sense an opportunity to create a new kind of social identity..one that is far more personal and instrumented...

Right now you are a bundle of information in mind and body. You have unique memories; your cells have undergone chemical changes shared by no one else in the world. When you die, none of this information will vanish, because it can't. There is nowhere for plus and minus, positive and negative to go since the field contains nothing but information. Therefore their only alternative is to recombine. There is growing evidence that in fact we do share the same mind field. The brain belongs to "me," but if ideas belong to "us," then we are participating together in a field, sometimes quite mysteriously.

"mine field"!? Hmmmm could be a mine field. If the mind field had a Profile Web Page it could give you a choice: [ ] Public (all your thoughts will be shared across the mind field). [ ] Private (your thoughts will not be shared. Of course, then their are the hackers! Arghhhhhh!

Social media allows for an immediate way to interact and engage with people and companies online. There are the obvious sites that allow for social networking, but social media done right can aspire to be so much more. We thought we'd highlight three notable Twiistup showoffs who are doing big things with social media.

Apache Solr is an open source, primarily HTTP-based, search server based on Apache Lucene. In 2007, I introduced Solr to developerWorks readers in the two-part Search smarter with Apache Solr series. With the recent release of Solr 1.3, the time is right to follow up with details about many of the new features and enhancements made since then.

For the next 48 hours, if you visit JungleJar.com, you'll see raw website design & development, live. I'll be uploading CSS files as I create them right then and there, everytime I change a class around or break the website, you'll be seeing it. For every image I create, in real time (no images or mockups were created beforehand), you'll see it on this website seconds fresh from Photoshop.

I heard once one guy telling one of his friends : "I'd give my right arm to know what's inside this portable device." He didn't know he was already holding an Arm in his hands.... since ARM designs

Bloggers all want the one thing. Traffic! It makes sense. When you first started out blogging you were probably hoping for thousands of visitors every day, dozens of comments and maybe even a bit of income, right? Well, in the meantime you might have found out that traffic is indeed a myth and your blog resembles a starving human stuck in the middle of the desert.

I have been facing the problem of which online bookmarking service to use for quite some time now. This is due to the fact that I have the StumbleUpon and Google toolbars installed on Firefox, and also have accounts on deli.cio.us, blinklist and digg (and possibly some others which I can't remember right now :-). Too diversified for my own good you say. Well my thoughts exactly. So, if you have any suggestions or comments be my guest.

At the start of this year, I sat down to write the "Errors and Debugging" chapter of Simply JavaScript. I cracked my fingers, dove into the landscape of JavaScript debugging tools, and emerged very disappointed several hours later. At the time, Firefox was the only browser with a JavaScript debugging tool worth writing about: Firebug. Less than a year later, the landscape has changed dramatically. Every major browser has introduced new development tools that make it easier to diagnose problems with your HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code right inside the browser in question. But can any of these tools stack up against the slick and effortlessly powerful tools provided by Firebug? Let's take a look.
