"In contrast, the New York Times app’s interstitials require you to find and tap a tiny “skip this ad” button to get past the ad without waiting. It’s a small difference from the Journal’s swipe-the-ad-away model, but it feels a lot more like an intrusion."

"Gone is the front-and-center stream of reverse chronological posts. In its place, a big feature story, reserved in beta versions for its most popular post, and the stream moves to the far right. (It may not end up being reverse-chronological when it’s released.)"

WhitherApps

mobilehtml5:

WhitherApps is a bandwagon-busting experiment. I believe there are far too many native client apps which could have been far better written as mobile web apps. What we’re going to try and do is take a few examples, apply a little reverse-engineering, and rewrite them, warts and all, with web technologies.

"I never understood watermarking. I also would never feature any work that has a watermark. It’s like people who would cover their couch with plastic material. Sure I guess it’s like keeping it clean, but then the whole time you are enjoying the couch through this plastic thing, but you’re not enjoying the couch"
