However, the problem with this comparison is we’re asking the wrong question. Apples vs Oranges I love Bootstrap and I […]

Last updated on December 17, 2014 by Sal Ferrarello

Last updated on December 12, 2014 by Sal Ferrarello

Reddit is an fascinating and wonderful collection of what the Internet has to offer, however their agressive link tracking is disappointing.

Network Neutrality, Open Letter to the FCC

Last updated on July 15, 2014 by Sal Ferrarello

Net neutrality is a fundamental principal of the Internet and should be defended. ISPs herding users to sites of their choosing is a gross abuse of their power. My ISP is a pipe of information delivered to my home. I pay for a pipe that is capable of carrying a certain amount of bandwidth each […]

Chrome Clear Redirect Cache

Last updated on September 24, 2016 by Sal Ferrarello

Chrome Caches Redirects Google Chrome caching redirects, is a known behavior and not one that is planned to change.
