Can anyone explain this? http://tctechcrunch2011.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/scaled-s... Is that real or just BS?

Its's real. You can try the benchmark yourself here, and learn how it is different from other JS benchmarks " rel="nofollow">http://jsbench.cs.purdue.edu/>.

Seems BS to me. Looks just like their "performance" pages for the Macbook Pro on the Apple website.

Yeah I'm going to need a technical rundown before I believe some random slide.

An iCloud keychain? No thanks.

The average non-technical user is going to be far better off with that than the current state of "password1!" used on every site across the internet.

The average non-technical user will now have "password1!" synced with iCloud.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The last side basically says: "encrypted client side".

Well, HN has told me that the NSA is all-powerful, so I'll take that with a grain of cyber-salt. /s Edit: Non-sarcastically, but what about the metadata about the keys?

like the position of the keys on the keyboard you pressed when you typed your password? it's meta-data ;)

It automatically suggests new passwords based on Random strings when it sees a password box.

Google Chrome Team: "Ah snap, and we just dropped WebKit!" Edit: It's a joke, guys. :/

Nothing in there was particularly unknown as far as I know – Webkit 2 has been around for a while, Blink wanted a different direction on much of the newer architectural decisions IIRC.
