Now there's an article idea.. "'Considered Harmful' considered harmful".

There is no clear definition of 'agile' that I can use to answer the question. Some shops take a few of the best practices and call themselves Agile. To me, it looks as if they're delivering prototypes, with various levels of testing (means usually very little).
I have also not seen a single agile-project yet where the deliverables have been on time. So, as far as I can see, it is merely a collection of good idea's that may or may not work in your setting.
Until I see it work, I'll remain a cynic.

The web definitely has a speed problem due to over-design and the junkyard of tools people feel they have to include on every single web page. "I'm not fat! I'm getting in shape! Beefcake!"

“What is this a picture of?” Humans can usually answer such questions instantly, but in the past it’s always seemed out of reach for computers to do this. For nearly 40 years I’ve been sure computers would eventually get there—but I’ve wondered when. "Looks more. Like a sycamore. To me."

The Internet giant is flipping common corporate security practice on its head, shifting away from the idea of a trusted internal corporate network secured by perimeter devices such as firewalls, in favor of a model where corporate data can be accessed from anywhere with the right device and user credentials. "Open sesame"

This actually makes a lot of sense - only when you free your mind form the myth of a secure boundary can you start to do security properly.
