Why it took them so long. I've got that improvement (packed w/ 20 others) from Better GMail 2 FireFox extension. My favorite improvement is Folders4GMail - label/sublabel get organized as folders. - Nenad Nikolic via twhirl
Nice! At last! :) - AJ Batac
Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet! :) - JohnBfromMemphis via twhirl
Nenad: There are good reasons due to SSL performance costs, specifically latency and to some extent concurrency. You can negatively impact user experience by using SSL naively. Security-conscious users like yourself won't care about the added performance cost, but the other 99.99% will. - Steve Weis
About time!! - Susan Beebe
I wonder what Gmail is using for their SSL acceleration - AJ Batac
"don't always use https"? that doesn't make sense! now if they said "Use https every time" and "60% of the time use https every time" that would be much easier to understand... :) - David Vasileff
It should be a checkbox. As for why not use ssl -- browsers are really dumb about caching with ssl, so for people with slow, high-latency internet connections, it could be really painful. The actual computational cost of ssl isn't that big of a deal -- it's not the 90s anymore. - Paul Buchheit
@Steve I fully agree with you. It may be the case that Google neede to scale up their infrastructure prior to making HTTPS widely available as "set-and-forget" option. This will definitely increase a number of SSL users by (at least) two orders of magnitude. Maybe they deployed SSL server farm based on quantum cryptography? ;-) - Nenad Nikolic via twhirl
N: I doubt this will increase the number of SSL users significantly. Most people (rightly) have no idea what SSL is and will never know this option exists. Everyone reading this operates in a bubble, so we're not a typical demographic. When G enables SSL by default, that's a different story. (ps - Quantum? I'll have some of what you're drinking. ) - Steve Weis
I thought the slowdown with SSL is not the encryption itself, but that each connection requires lots of overhead to negotiate. - Gabe Schaffer
@Gabe, for persistent HTTP connections, the overhead would be in encryption / decryption, right? Of course, I have no idea exactly how much that is quantitatively. - Ashwin Bharambe
@David, "Use https only when typing your password" wouldn't fit. - Bruce Lewis
If they wanted to make it easy, always https should be default. - Colby Olson
Paul, does Gmail use persistent HTTPS connections? How often are new connections made for things like new windows, attachments, graphics, etc.? - Gabe Schaffer
Great! - Daniel Schildt

"About three years ago he began steering his partners toward an emphasis on alternative-energy projects, or "green tech" in Kleiner parlance. The new eco-focus has attracted plenty of hoopla, most notably late last year when Doerr hired his pal Al Gore as a Kleiner partner. Yet the firm's shift toward energy investing is only part of the story. As important is Kleiner's steady drift away from the industry that made the firm what it is today: the Internet. Kleiner's investments defined the Internet's first generation. Without Kleiner there was no Netscape, and without Netscape there was no cash-gushing dot-com boom. " - Ana via Bookmarklet

The Hitler Pact: A Blood Oath
The Hitler Pact: A Blood Oath
Tuesday at 8:27 am - via Bookmarklet - Link
"The nephews of Adolf Hitler are alive and well in Long Island, New York. The only American descendants of Adolph Hitler are living quietly under assumed names. In about 40-50 years, barring death by unnatural causes, this bloodline of Adolph Hitler will be severed for all time. The brothers have reportedly entered into a pact that none will marry or have children. This will put an end to the irony and curse of the Hitler legacy in the United States." - Cee Bee via Bookmarklet

yes... but you still have free will. you might have a skill that other's might not have, but you still have the free will to do the right thing. Genetics have nothing to do with that. Hitler might of seen that he was a perfectionist and attempted to be a craftsman instead of a world leader. free will... who knows what he might of done with the same DNA? ....I will never be a ballerina... I admit it. My sister has that DNA.... but I still can be a great human - Noah David Simon
a lot of contemporary problems would be solved if we can accept that DNA "DOES" decide certain things. It is not bigoted of me to say that being Jewish gives me access to certain DNA that does certain things. Mark Davidson is wrong! DNA is like twitter... is twitter's architecture evil? No... only if you get hysterical about it and start bullying people about what they can do with their feeds and start talking about grounding your follows.... etc. the inherent architecture of twitter is fine. - Noah David Simon

No more software patents? (too good to be true?)
Tuesday at 11:42 am - via Bookmarklet - Link
"The Patent and Trademark Office has now made clear that its newly developed position on patentable subject matter will invalidate many and perhaps most software patents, including pioneering patent claims to such innovators as Google, Inc. In a series of cases including In re Nuijten, In re Comiskey and In re Bilski, the Patent and Trademark Office has argued in favor of imposing new restrictions on the scope of patentable subject matter set forth by Congress in § 101 of the Patent Act. In the most recent of these three—the currently pending en banc Bilski appeal—the Office takes the position that process inventions generally are unpatentable unless they “result in a physical transformation of an article” or are “tied to a particular machine.”[1] Perhaps, the agency has conceded, some “new, unforeseen technology” might warrant an “exception” to this formalistic test, but in the agency’s view, no such technology has yet emerged so there is no reason currently to use a more inclusive standard." - Paul Buchheit via Bookmarklet
The author of this blog clearly thinks that getting rid of software patents would be bad and would somehow hurt Google. However, I believe that the existence of software patents is a much greater risk for Google (and other innovators) than benefit. Google is about a lot more than Pagerank (and competitors already have comparable if not the identical algorithms). Meanwhile, the thousands of patents that they don't own effectively form a giant minefield that could hurt them at any moment (see RIM). - Paul Buchheit

Like = trying to figure out the issue. Some software probably should be patentable, but the standards are too murky to sort out. Probably the PTO wants to wash its hands of the mess. - Sean McBride
Looks like it's time to go the 'trade secret' route instead of the 'patent' route. It's kind of nice: If it's something that's obvious from the user experience it should be harder to patent, but if it's something that, even when the service is public, can still be hidden, then third parties shouldn't just be able to copy it. One-click shopping shouldn't be protected, but O(1) search algorithms should be. (Wait, what? If there were an O(1) search algorithm it'd change everything! I contradict myself.) - Kevin Fox
I like the "physical transformation" argument. Computer technology has boomed in spite of software patents, not because of them. - Gabe Schaffer
I admire the ironically pro-competition and social progress roots of patents. I also respect the efforts of many to equitably apply those antiquated laws on the violently innovative realm of software and the Internet. Nevertheless, I will be so happy to see the USPTO concede the futility of these patents and pull the plug. (Though, depending on what kind of plug and how they pull it, they may owe someone royalties.) - Sacca
Patents are a tax on small bazaar innovation in favor of big cathedral innovation. In some fields maybe that makes sense. But despite all the patents I've filed for, the things that had the biggest impact on the world weren't patentable (and shouldn't have been). Patents fetishize the "inventor" and the "invention" at the cost of actual progress. - Daniel Dulitz
I wonder if this will put those of us who work on "physical transformations" even further behind. Did you know it currently takes and average of about 15 months from the time an order is placed for a wind turbine (example large equipment) until it is operational? This is part of the argument for patents... you can eventually recoup the cost of this large equipment if it works enough better than your competitors during the protected period. - Clare Dibble
I still can't believe that Yahoo/Flickr tried to patent "interestingness" of social media. Does anyone know how I can find out the status of this patent request from 2006? http://appft1.uspto.gov/netacg... The patent office's search sucks and I can't find it anywhere there. - Thomas Hawk
With equipment/ material costs rising, will this just make software even more attractive relative to say consumer goods or energy? - Clare Dibble
Many large corporations do not file their really key technologies. They just lock them up. This makes it impossible for market competitors to find out what they are up to. - Paul Denlinger
I support not having software patents. They're like patenting chord progressions. - Chris White
Chris, with respect to chord progressions, I think you are thinking of "copyright" and not "patent" ;-) - Karim
I am so happy to hear this. I want Blackboard to go out of business. O - Akshay
Karim, no I'm fine with copyright. From my perspective, chord progressions are like algorithms. I think people should be allowed to build on other people's work or invent something using techniques that are fairly obvious.. However, I'm not okay with people just taking somebody's work verbatim and selling it as their own, as in using somebody's copyrighted song or application source code. - Chris White
was discussing this with a friend and he posited an interesting question: will this make it even more important to keep the employees who work on developing new technologies happy? - Marco
See also http://arstechnica.com/article... regarding the studies of innovation & patents in IT vs BioTech fields, and possible reasons - Nick Lothian
I also think the EFF is a great resource for this stuff. Their Patent Busting project is fantastic. http://w2.eff.org/patent/ I was on the wrong end of one of those Acacia patents once and it made me sick to my stomach. - Sacca
I think this is great news, especially for big companies like Google, Microsoft, Apple, etc. Larger companies have more to lose from potshot lawsuits than to gain. Very little of software business success comes from having a patent on a process - it's all about execution, and legal defense prevents those who are producing working software from doing what they do best. - Jon Galloway
Oh please let this mean that the one-click patent can be consigned to the garbage can of history. We demand easier shopping! - Earle Martin
So who would a decision like this be bad for? Besides patent trolls, and maybe patent lawyers... - nadim
i never end up reading the original article that these long response feeds are based on...so even here, the original writer gets no credit for stimulating this conversation. So who's to say people should own anything. The Fugees sampled Enya for "Ready Or Not" and gave her no credit, but I am sure Enya got the idea from somewhere. Again this is cyclical, or tangential rather. But where is the place for barter in this world then? I think the human instinct to barter is always going to trump giving stuff away - Rajesh
