I've been looking for a better alternative to iTunes for years, like Google Music. But nothing I've used has the same features like powerful smart playlists, ratings system, and the ability to change the start and stop times of s

Well, from a game perspective, Angry Birds 2 is pretty good. It gets rid of a lot of the annoyances in the first series of games. It's much easier to knock down small parts of buildings now.

They think they do, but they don't. At least nowhere near what Apple is doing. Right now they're at the stage where they think that if something has material design and looks pretty, then it must have a good user interface.
