#2Those graphs should really start at 0, the improvements (as good as they are) are needlessly exaggerated.

#4Insteresting to see the VM to go into the meta-circular direction with code being written directly in JavaScript.

I agree, but it is rarely the fault of the person presenting them. Unfortunately most "easy to use" graphing technologies (with Excel being the worst offender) take the most deceptive graphing techniques and make them defaults.

One could argue that it's not so bad in this case, since the variable is not an absolute value but just a "score".

They are deceptive because they exaggerate features of the data in order to improve perception of configuration changes. If every graph started at zero, many datasets would look like flat lines... not a great user experience when graphing.

#9We really need a monkey version of nodejs and node-webkit. Mozilla's engine looks more solid for universal use, there are more interesting features and experimentation. The only problem is that it's harder to embed in another software, but it looks that it is changing and I really hope it will change.

Well , you cant have it both ways. There was spideymonkey-node a few years ago , but Mozilla doesnt seem interested in maintaining that. In fact there are quite a few mozilla abandonned projects,(XULRunner...) that could have competed with node-webkit.
