Corporations which contribute code to Blender have mostly contributed patches for supporting their hardware. AMD and Apple are the ones I know for sure have done that, Intel and NVidia may have done it as well. Ton Roosendaal also knows wha

Firebug is what made HTML, CSS, and JS click for me. Seeing a website interactively update as you made changes, as well as inspecting existing websites to see how they worked made all those concepts so much easier to grasp.

The article notes that the first iPod touch came out in 2007. That was just six years after the first inch-thick iPod with a monochrome screen and magnetic storage. The pace of technology really does seem to have slowed down.
