Pretty. 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. Surely it must be possible to actually view these sites, as evidenced by the fact…

was i the only one that found that the kitkat site performed well, while the android one stuttered?

I noticed and LOL'd.

You realize your smartphone almost certainly has metals mined or processed by children in dangerous and unhealthy work environments ?

Yes. Next time I upgrade, I've got my eye on fairphone.com, for what it's worth. Not quite sure what that argument has to do with my preposition though. I had no such illusions about my phone manufacturer (Samsung). Google set out on a different path ("Do No Evil"), but turns out they're not much different to Samsung et. al. now, and that was my argument. Many still see them as working in a different way, but they do…

The argument is that there were previous "hook-up"s between Google and vile companies before Nestle, namely Samsung.

For those that missed it yesterday, per this[1] BBC article....no money exchanged hands. [1] - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-23926938

In my entire HN history I have never seen a sentence and a link posted more than this "no money changed hands" one.

Ugh, read the small print section. Horrible, designed by committee to attempt to sound like their audience. I sometimes find these quite revealing, although irritating. It shows how they perceive the people they are targeting with a product. In this case we are flighty, feckless, caught up in a culture full of meaningless catch phrases. They have mistaken the irreverence and playfulness of the y,z gen for low brow in…

I thoroughly enjoyed it. So maybe I'm the target audience? Although honestly how anyone could not already be in love with the peanut butter Kit Kat chunky is frankly beyond my ability to comprehend.

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…

I'm not sure I see this as anything more as a co-branding strategy.

If you avoided every company that has done morally reprehensible things, then you would probably be naked right now and have no way to get to work.
