Steve Jobs used to say the problem with Microsoft is they don’t have taste.

The font-shimmering effect on scroll immediately reminded me of that, it is really distracting. And you can’t use reader mode to disable it.

(FWIW, I’m a fan of Bill Gates and all he’s done for the world)

FWIW the spinning scrolling effects of Apple release announcements are nearly as bad.

Yeah, some of the Apple pages are pretty bad too, and I feel Jobs would've kept it more minimal. But to me, this blog is worse because it's supposed to showcase a whole article, and it's hard to read (and not even compatible with browser reader-mode).
