    I guess, but at least with Mailchimp, there are a large number of "default appearances," which one did they choose? I would have appreciated screenshots of each email to see what was being compared to what.

    This is a very strange comment from the article: >37% of openers clicked a link (I think this is because Mailchimp’s links are black rather than blue and it’s easy to miss them) IMO, if they aren't doing anything to customize the ap

    It is partially you, but not in a general "You are different than everyone else" sense. Nostalgia is powerful - the games I played when I was younger will always win out in my head compared to newer games.

    If you use a framework and it looks like a bunch of other sites that use the same framework, the framework isn't the reason that happened.

    Spot on about the physics. For me, the thing that really gives it away in the white room is Keanu's hair. The way it moves it just off. Super impressive demo though.
