I did something similar to watch hulu from Canada awhile back but I had split tunnelling disabled where all traffic goes through the vpn so no messing around with static routes and ips. Also setup a local DNS cache on the VPS and configured openvpn to use the VPS DNS cache when connected. CDN's generally use the ip of the DNS request to determine where to direct your browser to download the media, static host entries would avoid the DNS request though. I no longer have it setup, but I do have my config backed up somewhere. If someone's interested I'll look for it.
The fragmentation mentioned in the article to me highlights one of the main reasons why enterprises shy away from Android. On iOS, there is ONE email/calendar client with a known set of features/limitations. On android, almost every manufacturer has their own email client and their varying feature sets and bugs are not documented anywhere. For example: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=4760 How many posts in there are from google employees stating that it's not their problem because the email client the person is complaining about isn't written by google?
I had some discussions with Goodmail late last year about potentially using their service. We send a decent amount of mail via custom qmail servers. For us, it was a chicken and egg problem, Goodmail obviously required a maximum complaint rate but on the flip side higher complaint clients would be the ones most interested in the service. Our low complaint clients were already hitting the inbox and Goodmail didn't seem to justify the extra effort and cost to drive better engagement.
That was the original push, but lots of manufacturers botched the implementation. For example, some would apply 3:2 pulldown to 60hz and then double it instead of 5:5 pulldown. Nowadays 240hz are all the rage making movies look like a cheap karaoke video.
I've been using http://www.webpagetest.org which is pretty well known in WPO circles. It's not as "pretty" as your site, but offers more features like recording video, Dynatrace recordings, firstview vs 2ndview, etc.
IE/XP browser support is what held me back when I was looking at SNI. SNI would have definitely made a migration to Amazon AWS more compelling. Without SNI, every unique SSL certificate = unique external ip = unique EC2 instance.
Does anyone actually use SNI? Looked into it but browser support would exclude ANY IE version on Windows XP which is pretty significant. Android and BB browsers also don't support it.
