   The fonts themselves are cached. The CSS is cached for 24 hours to allow them to point to a new versions of the font. This css file stops the parser till it is loaded and when connectivity to Google is an issue it hangs the loading of sites

   After reading your post http://www.igvita.com/2012/06/14/debunking-responsive-css-pe... It seems merely adding a media tag to the link tag would prevent webkit browsers from hanging.

   BTW, the hang seems to be caused by the block of the dynamic css.

   Thanks. Glad that Google developers talk their time to read comments here. :D I'm reading your blog and wow it is very useful. Guess you are the guy to look into such issue.

   I have a problem with Google web fonts. Sometimes connectivity to Google is problematic. For example in China after searching the wrong keyword all connections to Google are blocked for 1.5 minutes. This leads to sites with Google web fonts

    Many simple products are made completely by machine yet have been coming for a long time from places like China. Sometimes it is due to the Chinese owning better machines (e.g. mills in China are generally more advance than their counterpar

    The room I'm in has a Ving lock. I witnessed it being reprogrammed by hotel staff when I was having problems opening my door. Ving may have security flaws but I'm assuming it will be a bit more expensive to exploit.

    Little hard to lock the door with door chains while you're not in the room. Hotel occupancy is a lot lower on the weekend. I'm sure many people living in hotel rooms with more belonging than can fit in the safe will appreciated this informa

    I spend much of the year in China and I find the laptops overpriced or underpowered for the price they are offered for. Sure, comparing retail price in China to the west usually has China being lower. However, most savvy buyers in the west

    I don't know US geography that well but it isn't a universal rule. Africa (cheap labour + under developed), for example, has many coastal cities linked by sea not land.

    Sea is cheaper. Land links require roads for the trucks to drive on and much more labour than sea links.
