I read a post this morning by David Hyatt, who works for Apple as the lead developer of Safari. He was commenting on a Digg post about a hidden setting to change in Safari that will “speed up Safari” by reducing the “page load delay”. The funny thing is, says Hyatt, “the preference in question is dead and does absolutely nothing in Safari 1.3 and Safari 2.0.”

It just goes to prove that the wisdom of crowds is not always so wise. I read an article just last night in the March paper edition of Wired Magazine about how people are manipulating Digg, eBay and other trust based systems to promote them selves or their clients. It was a very interesting read and one that I would link to if I could find it online.
