>Click on View live SPDY session to see all SPDY connections at a given time – all Google properties work with this technology. This reminds me of Microsoft skipping part of the three-way handshake for IIS-to-IE connections to reduce the latency to their servers as compared to Apache.

Except this is within spec, given a particular (and different) spec.

  That's the great thing about specs - so many to choose from!

    The same can be said, and was originally coined, about standards.

      Indeed, but the comment I replied to said "spec" so I adapted it.

      The Unix Hater's Handbook attributes that quote to Admiral Grace Murray Hopper, but without citing the source. Wikiquote cites others as having said it, including Andrew Tanenbaum, Patricia Seybold, and Ken Olsen. http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Grace_Hopper http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Grace_Hopper

        Hey it's mean to hate Unix! Cut it out! (Just joking. ;)

        I'm sure it was independently thought of by many people (me not included; I read it years and years ago...). Can't remember from whom, or if it was attributed at all. It has, to me, the feel of a Henry Spencer-ism.

  And SPDY is well documented. Everyone can implement it, even IE if they wanted. Microsoft has a knack for keeping the internal workings of protocols and file formats a secret, or at least very ambigiously documented.

  Right: 1) Create unfortunate speed hack so browser written by you is faster with servers written by you. 2) Declare it a spec without other existing implementations. 3) ???? 4) PROFIT
