..but will it help you debug differences in Javascript and DOM features between FF, Chrome, IE and Safari?
I think NOT!
Sorry Opera, but my company officially does NOT support you so I don't have to.

Google's guiding principle in all that it does is "don't be evil", a slogan that has, inevitably, been mocked over the years, particularly as issues of user privacy have gradually gained more widespread attention in recent times. But, "OK, we admit it: we're totally evil." just doesn't work on bumper stickers as well

Page means that the slogan originally was created towards customers and not the company as most people think. He mean to put some effort (and money) to explain it, via advertising the wrong-doings of Google's customers...

In the eight years since its initial release, jQuery has become the foundation of the modern Web. $(document).almostReady()
|
|
|
|
|
'almostReady' is not defined.
How can you even say document is almostReady? Wouldn't that part be,
$.almostReady();
jQuery.almostReady();
That would have made a lot more sense! :P

He didn't say document.almostReady(), he said $(document).almostReady() making it a jquery object.

Yes, JS can seem like a horror movie at times...

Pair programming is a powerful technique that can fix many development team issues, so why aren’t more teams pairing? "Take your baby by the hand, and make her do a high hand stand."

What if they have to po-po ca-ca?

I was involved in pair-programming years ago (think we referred to it then as buddying up - terminology has changed in the last 20 years). It was certainly very effective in short bursts, but, yes - it was very tiring, and it only worked where good, strong, working relationships already existed.

In my (limited) experience, pair debugging works much better than pair programming.

by cutting the number of active developers in half. Half as much code, half as many bugs. Twice as much time to find the problems.

I am not a big fan of pairing but I haven't done it much and want to give it a chance before denigrating it thoroughly (as is my style). 
I have seen however that it tends to increase the competence of 2 lesser competent individuals... so the incompetence still exists but it is subtracted or divided, not added or multiplied.
I'm retired. There's a nap for that...

Mine too. I've done it, and it tends to be exhausting unless there's a good match between the two people and their familiarity with the code and their thinking styles and skills. I've done it where I'm on the receiving end of not knowing the code base and watching the other programmer flip through code screens faster than a film projector's frame rate. Not much learning happens there. It's also important that there's some compatibility in the "depth vs. breadth" view of coding (they were "breadth" people, and I tend to be a "depth" person) which created some unnecessary tensions, especially when I felt that their "breadth" approach was too biased -- you should have seen some of the amusing (and buggy) code that was in the code base, left for some future sprint because they wanted to focus on features rather than correctness.
So, as the worn out expression goes, it's a tool, and you have to know when to use it and how to use it. Typically, few people do.

Pairing works fine in spurts
Less so for introverts
If you ask me
I do agree
It's great for extroverts

Pair programming works best with two experienced developers doing an emergency debug and fix! For regular programming it is too much pressure to maintain for long and you will get a lot of burn-out (and occasional fist fights).
