From the article: > most people I know including myself couldn’t live without Chromium/V8 anymore. Is this a common sentiment ?

The statement is definitely a bit sensationalist. That said, yes. Even non-techy people I've seen checking out chrome comment on the speed and how much they like the UI.

I can only view the cached version. Looks like he needs a mirror.

Or he needs to implement caching on his Wordpress site. Almost every day there's a popular blog post that misses a large portion of its audience because the author wasn't caching. You'd think that more authors would plan for a traffic spike from aggregators, since that's sort of the holy grail of blogging.

It's hard to plan for a problem you've never had before. Most people expect it's just going to work.

I dont get that : "we realized “900.91″ did actually reference the goo.gl url shortener" I do not see how he did that?

There isn't one standard way to convert a latitude / longitude coordinate into a x/y coordinate for a map. Google Maps was the first to use the Spherical Mercator projection. The EPSG (?) number used to reference the Spherical Mercator was originally 900913. EPSG:3785 now refers to the Spherical Mercator too.

Or that their host can handle the stress.
