Nice looking site. But why associate your product with junk food?
Android releases are named after some sweet, and going alphabetically. They just reached letter K. I'm not sure I can think of some other sweet starting with K?

#62Nestle is a truly horrible company[1], this hook-up has really re-enforced the notion in my eyes that Google is now just another big multi-national corp in the same vein as the rest. It's sad, because I used to think they could show the world that a big corp didn't have to do things that way. I'm not sure if they changed or if I was just naive.

#65Pretty. But do there exist web browsers that display these scroll-to-animate sites correctly? Using either mousewheel or dragging the scrollbar (or worse still, dragging on an iPad), it's never anything but choppy choppiness and I miss important bits of text as they scroll past entirely between the little click stops on my mouse wheel.

#68Earlier quoted context omitted.
It works great on basically any browser on a system with the Apple's Magic Mouse. I'm still wondering why there's no some sort of smoothing polyfill in wide use.
Agh, this should definitely be a design anti-pattern. Don't change my browsers functionality. If I wanted smooth scrolling I would find a way to turn it on.

#69Earlier quoted context omitted.
You arrived at this conclusion as a result of Android's naming convention which uses food names instead of version numbers?
No, I arrived at that conclusion because KitKat and Google have both publicly announced the tie-up, and Google doesn't seem to understand, or more likely doesn't care, what it means to actively promote a company like Nestle. There are plently of other "K" foods they could choose if they wanted to. To be fair, it's not just this incident that helped me reach the conclusion, its been festering at the back of my mind fo…
