Serious question: how do you get Google News to display the full article text? All I ever see is a short snippet, and if an article looks interesting I click the title which takes me directly to the news site. As a result, I end up visiting news sites that I've never heard of or never would have otherwise found directly.
I think the message is that this is the last common product where a tube was required.

Google Analytics uses only a first party cookie to identify visitors. That means your id is different on each site you visit. You therefore cannot track a unique visitor across the web using GA cookies.
Google Analytics requests are also only unencrypted if the site itself is unencrypted, so the fact that the GA request includes the referrer doesn't seem relevant (since the referrer would have already been transferred in the clear in the Referer header on the initial HTTP request.)
The newest version of Google Analytics eliminates most of the cookie bloat. There's now just a single id cookie that's around 30 bytes or so.

The test machine broke at 4, not the car.
Even if these are just trends, we now see Apple following trends rather than setting them. That's a significant change.
I don't understand the comment about Array.prototype.slice.call. I only see them using it to convert arguments to an array which works fine in IE8.
