thestringpuller: MSM is presenting bitcoin in a much better light than it use to. It is being featured on WSJ, BBC, ft, CNN, CNBC, etc. These outfits are not known for featuring the real stories, or at least those that question the status quo.

dub: apparently you can pay gox for a more realtimey socket, SC should do that
kakobrekla: They are using what is called a web socket and then on top of that Socket I/O . This is unnecessary and the method by which this is implemented is not technically correct.
thestringpuller: Californication is pretty much the story of mircea_popescu, if he were a writer with writer's block...
