Has anyone been able to find video of the shredding happen? Finding videos on youtube is such a crapshoot nowadays with people uploading/copying the same videos or some lame commentary over static images.

I love maps in books. What's particularly disappointing is when editions are published without maps. For example quite a few of the editions of more recent Terry Brooks Shannara series don't have maps. What the?!

It may be unrelated but what I find annoying is how pinch to zoom is so broken for Google image search using Safari on an iPhone.

What I would love to see is code running, extremely slowed down and in a zoomed out view of all the source files in a project. So say I have a server running, I could make various web requests and very quickly get an intuitive sense of the

So torn by this. I've always been a Firefox user and one of my favourite addons is Tab Groups. Unfortunately it will stop working with 57. I'm really keen to update to 57 but until Tab Groups gets updated I'm going to be stic
