It's not good practice to rely on a user's cache. If they visit your site twice in a span of a day, they may have already cleared their cache or pushed your files out with other sites' files.

This article demonstrates a pretty good method to reduce unnecessary byte transfer which will ultimately speed up page loading.

Works fine on Windows 8.1 with Chrome 35.

By far the most interesting thing is the overlay of map with tweets. I'm using a cinema display, so can't say I have problems reading small type. Although the color scheme looks very Blade Runner, it makes overlaying only a few options difficult to grok. Scrolling is slow.

Still impressed this was rolled out for a video game. Have there been any other presentations like this in the past?
