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)

On top of the poor readability, my 2-year-old laptop can't even navigate through the page without CPU and GPU going insane, and my fans blasting at max speed. It's the poorest, choppiest web performance I can recall, all for what should be a simple blog post.

Tim Berners-Lee has been elevated to many things, but an ascension to deity must be a new reach.

I don't know, did you see the 2012 Olympic opening ceremony?
