I was extremely amused to see an actual **ad** just now in my gmail account
targetting bufferbloat,
which ultimately after making me signup on their website (I gave my usual

Sent me to this:

Which is actually... quite a compelling story.
We seem to be making real progress on bug
http://www.bufferbloat.net/issues/33 lately!
