*_path
Generates relative URLs: /users
Used in views by link_to, form_for, etc. (per DHH)
The browser maps relative URLs to absolute URLs based on the current page’s protocol and host (/users on the page http://domain.com/new translates to http://domain.com/users)
*_url
Generates absolute URLs: http://domain.com/users
Used in controllers by redirect_to (per DHH) because RFC 2616 states that redirects must be absolute URLS. This is true, however, modern browsers can handle relative URL redirects now too

Logging in to check our Twitter followers, our 401k portfolio, our pay-per-click advertising campaign click through rate, our bank accounts, how many people are occupying Wall St., how many jobs we’re losing, your Klout score, how many votes Obama is gonna get.
Do these numbers really matter? Do they improve our lives somehow? Do they improve the lives of our family and friends? Do they make us happy?
I introduce to you a piece of Web Application Software that exemplifies the vacuous, meaningless implications of the numbers we obsess about.
