Slashing subjective time from ask TOG

Here's a sorta interesting article on ask TOG. It's about subjective time.

In case you're not sure what subjective time is, it's the time that passes that has really no objective. The opposite of that being objective time of course, where when you're doing something with an objective in mind time seems to go much faster.

Anyhow, the author talks about this passage of time in relation to the internet. How when we go to sites and have to sit around while page refreshes happen that we feel like it "takes forever". The interesting thing about this article is that there is no mention at all of using flash or flex as a solution to no page refreshes and turning subjective time into objective time. Instead he only talks a bit about AJAX (and none of the cons) and prefetching through Mozilla and/or Google's services available.

Weird.. somebody needs to get this guy out of HTML only world and into one of the years of 2000. No offense of course.
