iOS is entertainment and consumption platform just because you can't do anything serious with your greasy finger. You can edit text and graphics on Commodore 64 but almost can't on iPad Pro. There will be no CADs for $50000. One e

Is it really ultrasound? Microphones on phones may be able to pick this but what speakers are able to play even 20 kHz? And these apps should always listen, that will drain battery quickly, so these apps will be listed in top power-consumin

Almost the same as old look but more "mobile": large buttons, more whitespace. More "modern google" design which has some unsettling feel: it's cold and faceless, it's corporate. This "mobile-first" d

React is 38.7K + 7.3K = 46K minified + gzipped. Jquery is 34.6K. And React is not super-slow. What makes modern sites bloated and slow is definitely not React. Why not use it even for simple UIs (that may grow into complex after some time)

It uses Native Client, but seems that at some time development of NaCl had been stopped[1] so it's strange that new Google product still uses this technology. Maybe they'll port it to Webassembly later. Or maybe plans had changed

Limbo is the most canonical example of overhyped Mario reskin. What's good in it? Just stupid gore, halloween-grade "darkness" and use of little boy as protagonist to generate more pity points.
