Earlier quoted context omitted.

Defining all 4 screen sizes gets tedious. That aside, The new landing page on http://getbootstrap.com/ looks great

Great? Looks bland. Anyone else have a weird box sitting under the download button? http://i.imgur.com/U5OyI7g.png

Have you got an ad-blocker running?

I believe that box is meant to be an ad, which the creators of Bootstrap use to support the project.

You're blocking an ad.

Pushed to CDN too http://www.jsdelivr.com/#!bootstrap

Curious what people's thoughts on using a CDN for these sorts of things (Bootstrap, JQuery etc) versus deploying it on their own sites.

It's an extra DNS query - but thoughts on overall impact on performance?

The main advantages of Zurb was that it was using Sass, now that Bootstrap uses Sass, I wonder if it will win back some users.

Official Sass port. That's pretty big news.

Where does it say Sass support? I am not seeing it.

It's on the homepage http://getbootstrap.com/

I think the idea is that if everyone serves it from the same URL, it's cached before the user sees your page for the first time.

In the examples here, under custom components: http://getbootstrap.com/getting-started/#examples

Am I missing something, or do they minify the example code? Why do they do that? Is there an easier to copy/edit version somewhere?

At the expense of not Googling it on my own, can someone provide a quick rundown of why this is a big deal? What's the difference between Sass and LESS?

Preference really. But most of the front-enders I work with seem to prefer Sass for some reason and thus have been pretty dedicated to Foundation in the past. With this official port being introduced it makes bootstrap a more viable option to those who spend most of their time using Sass.
