In 2009 I asked about 10 Fortune 500 CEOs, “did you just use this crisis as an excuse to fire all the people you were afraid to fire before.” Only one said “of course” instantly. The others had to drink more. But then it was admitted: you’re all dead weight and there’s no loyalty.

Using experiments.

My Chrome version: 19.0.1084.52 (mac)

Surf to: chrome://flags/

I enabled following flags, and so far it’s still working great:

• Threaded compositing Mac, Windows, Linux, Chrome OS
• GPU Accelerated SVG and CSS Filters Mac, Windows, Linux, Chrome OS
• HTTP Pipelining Mac, Windows, Linux, Chrome OS
• Built-in Asynchronous DNS Mac, Windows, Linux, Chrome OS

Pipelining requires a somewhat more decent internet connection (as in, don't use it while on EDGE on the train).

There are a bunch of other cool experiments to play with, and be sure to check it out after every major Chrome update.

Did a comparison with a browser set to UK and one to Belgium on eurostar.com.

If you live in Belgium, you get free NMBS tickets (from and to Brussels South).

However, when you choose UK, you get an option to either choose Brussels South or "Any Belgian Station":

If we compare the prices for 2nd of June (Friday) we see a £6 difference between Brussels and "Any Belgian City".

Every one sees what you appear to be, few really know what you are, and those few dare not oppose themselves to the opinion of the many
