I'm not sure about methodology differences, but this service tells a different story:

Clear the 'Desktop/Laptop' filter and it gives share on all platform types. I think the difference in numbers may be due to this service is measuring only browsing activity.
It also removes 21% of traffic detected as bots, so that may also have an effect.

I know. I'm pointing out that seemingly profitable arbitrage opportunities carry very significant risks besides market risk.

Historically, exchanges that are failing have significant spreads from stable exchanges (Mt. Gox comes to mind).
So, there is risk with this strategy. One of the exchanges could fail and you lose everything you have on that exchange.

My primary issue with Ethereum is the Turing-completeness.
The more capabilities a language has, the more likely it will be compromised. Complex contracts will continue to be exploited like the DAO, which will put a damper on Ethereum's growth.

I sold my bitcoins to take a vacation when it was around 300. Mt. Gox had imploded and I was guessing it would take longer than this to rebound.
Wrong!

What's the deal with stats delayed over 24 hours? Man, I hate that.

Speaking of defaults, if you install Mongo on EC2 using a default instance of Ubuntu using the default engine, Wired Tiger, you will get ceaseless server crashes. Wired Tiger is NOT STABLE on the default volume - ext4. You have to use xfs.
This was only recently added as a startup check.

All web traffic that is not encrypted is vulnerable to having its contents altered enroute.
This is a type of man in the middle vulnerability that allows for javascript, posts, etc. to be changed into something malicious.

Steve Gibson will go into levels of detail that amaze me. The podcast on Rowhammer is a perfect example - down to the minute details of how VMs store memory pages...
Its also can be a great sleep aid.

The Twit network has some very detailed podcasts about Wosign's sliminess:
This is a CA death penalty situation as far as I'm concerned.

I have a theory: - Bots don't show up as Linux, they spoof Chrome, iOS, etc. - Since this service filters out bot traffic, it is removing non-Linux traffic. - Hence, Linux share is actually much higher than is generally reported.
It IS the year of Linux!!
