Amazon's New Silk Redefines Browser Tech 249
angry tapir writes "While the Kindle Fire tablet consumed much of the focus at Amazon's launch event Wednesday in New York, the company also showed off a bit of potentially radical software technology as well, the new browser for the Fire, called Silk. Silk is different from other browsers because it can be configured to let Amazon's cloud service do much of the work assembling complex Web pages. The result is that users may experience much faster load times for Web pages, compared to other mobile devices, according to the company."

Speaking of optimization, you can save a byte with a small change to your sig.
Your sig assembles to: A1 00 4C CD 21 (5 bytes!) whereas:
mov ah, 4ch
int 21h
assembles to: B4 4C CD 21 (4 bytes)
Interrupt 21h won't care what's in al, so you don't need to clear it.
You kids these days code like everyone has megabytes of RAM just lying around.
