I doubt many sites are going to bother with all the complexity of implementing and utilizing SPDY when only chrome supports it. To see significant advantage with SPDY vs something like long-polling you need to build your app around it, and

Slightly OT, but this is a perfect reason to regard javascript crypto as dangerous. If one of the most heavily scrutinized cryptographic protocols can have what is in retrospect, a fairly obvious flaw (WEP fell to a very similar predictable

Forced arbitration clauses, with an arbiter of the companies choosing, are in no way "holding them accountable". They are pretty much the definition of an unjust kangaroo court.

yes, it is heavily patched to support things like IPv6 (which the Apache foundation claimed was "impossible"). However, the code-base is getting a bit long in the tooth, a more modern replacement will be nice. I am curious however about how
