Remains of the Day: Comcast’s New Internet Throttling Plans Edition [For What It's Worth]

By Nemo

MSN.com gets its first serious makeover in years (and you can preview it), the iTunes App Store officially gives you over 100,000 apps to choose from, and Comcast gives throttling your internet connection another go.

  • The Madeover MSN.com Preview
    MSN.com is one of the most popular sites on the internet (that’s what happens when you’re the most popular operating system’s default browser’s default homepage), and after years of the same old blue, they’re switching things up a bit, integrating with Twitter and Facebook, among other things.

  • Worcestershire Sauce Secret Recipe Found in Trash
    A 170-year-old recipe for Lea & Perrins Worcestershire sauce surfaces in a dumpster. They should’ve used Evernote. [Slashfood]
  • Windows Live Sync Now Supports Snow Leopard
    I can’t imagine all that many Mac users want to use Live Sync, but for those few of you out there, Snow Leopard is now supported. [jkOnTheRun]
  • Weave 0.8 Released
    Mozilla’s browser sync extension, Weave, continues pushing toward a 1.0 release. There’s not a ton of major changes in this release beyond bug fixes and a better interface, but if you’re a Weave user, you’ll certainly want to update. [Mozilla Labs]
  • 100,000 Apps Now Available for the iPhone/iPod touch
    We’re not sure why anyone would actually brag about the fact that their notoriously difficult to navigate App Store now has over 100,000 apps to fumble through, but there you have it. [Gizmodo]
  • Comcast Internet throttling is up and running
    Apparently Comcast’s newest internet throttling scheme involves triggered conditions related to consumer use (e.g., using 70% of your max download or upload stream for more than 15 minutes triggers you a throttling!). [The Inquirer]
