In the early days of the web images were typically small and of low quality. We all remember the little animated men at work icons that littered the web in its infancy.

Gmail’s Ongoing Email Slowdown Nearing Resolution Good news! Today you can blame your non-responsiveness to all those important emails you’ve been ignoring on Google itself. The company’s online email service Gmail has been experiencing issues leading to delayed emails and attachments failing to download, the company confirmed. Earlier this morning, Google said an estimated 0.24 percent of its Gmail user base was affected by these problems, but in an update released later this afternoon, the delays were said to being affecting “less than 50 percent of Gmail users.” Given the wording of that announcement, it sounded like, at first, things were getting worse instead of better.

Google Will Start Blocking NPAPI Plug-Ins In January 2014, Will Whitelist Silverlight, Unity & Others The name “Netscape Plug-in API” (NPAPI) sounds like a relic from another age of browsers, but Chrome, Mozilla and other browsers still support this architecture for writing browser plug-ins today. But its time is quickly coming to an end. Mozilla will block NPAPI plugins in December and Google today announced that Chrome will start blocking webpage-instantiated NPAPI plugins by default in January 2014. Starting today, Google also won’t accept any new apps or extensions that contain NPAPI-based plug-ins in its Web Store. As Google notes, NPAPI-based plugins were the first to bring video and audio support to browsers. Google argues that most users won’t notice this change. Developers who currently have apps or extensions that use NPAPI can still update them until May 2014.
