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.

We recently announced initial support for Chrome in Windows 8 Metro mode . One thing that early testers may have noticed is that some existing plug-ins don't work. These plug-ins are built using a technology called NPAPI , which, like ActiveX , is not compatible with Windows 8 Metro mode.
Adobe Flash Player and Chrome’s PDF viewer have both been bundled as Pepper plug-ins running in a sandboxed environment in Chrome, these two widely-used plug-ins will continue to work in Windows 8 Metro mode on all websites.

Today’s Chrome Beta release includes two new APIs: the getUserMedia API and the Gamepad Javascript API.
getUserMedia API lets users grant web apps access to their camera and microphone without a plug-in. This is the first step in enabling high quality video and audio communication as part of WebRTC , a powerful new real-time communications standard for the open web platform.
rotate the video and add hipstery filters , play a xylophone with motion detection , try on glasses with face detection , and step into a photobooth with crazy effects like “Snow” and “Fire.” Follow WebRTC on Google+ for the occasional awesome demo update, and check out the video below for an in depth discussion of WebRTC at Google I/O.
