Internet Archive
These crawls are part of an effort to archive pages as they are created and archive the pages that they refer to. That way, as the pages that are referenced are changed or taken from the web, a link to the version that was live when the page was written will be preserved.
Then the Internet Archive hopes that references to these archived pages will be put in place of a link that would be otherwise be broken, or a companion link to allow people to see what was originally intended by a page's authors.
The goal is to
fix all broken links on the web .
Crawls of supported "No More 404" sites.
A daily crawl of more than 200,000 home pages of news sites, including the pages linked from those home pages. Site list provided by

Benchmarks are incredibly important for influencing the direction of JavaScript engines. Over the past two years, JavaScript has gotten dramatically faster across all major browsers, particularly in areas that popular benchmarks measure. As it turns out, browser developers are a competitive bunch. However, as JS engines get faster, benchmarks must evolve in order to keep pushing them in the right direction.V8 benchmark suite to force us to get faster in areas that are important to web developers. We’ve fixed bugs and added new tests for regular expressions and memory management . We’re very focused on JavaScript performance, so we scrutinize our benchmark carefully to make sure that it’s as useful a measuring stick as possible.SunSpider from Apple, and Kraken , a new benchmark from Mozilla. canonical version of the benchmark has not been updated to reflect all the latest changes which address at least one important bug . As a result, the benchmark is less useful and has even (mis)led us to spend time making some irrelevant optimizations in Chrome. To help us focus on the right things, we’re now testing the latest version of Kraken built directly from Mozilla’s source code repository.modified version of SunSpider and the latest version of Kraken to make it easy to run the benchmarks in your own browser and compare results.Posted by Mike Belshe, Software Engineer
