Scrolling with the mousewheel is funky in Chrome. Hate when websites hijack the scroll event and misuse it.

I abandoned the website in less than 20 seconds as I couldn't navigate the page below on Chrome.

I think being limited to only square designs is short-sighted. We just don't need a laptop in a small form factor, but a new way of interaction. Hopefully, TTS and ASR with proper dialog management will remove the need to read small messages.

Isn't Huawei the company that the United States barred because they were spying/embedding firmworms/foreign? Of course the gov would know what to look for, but why would I wear a Communist produced watch on my wrist?!

Where do you think most of the technology you use today come from?

It's designed such that you can quickly decide with a glance "am I interested in this". A wall of text simply wouldn't be appropiate.

If you are interested, after all, you swipe up and can read the text just fine.

You can scroll that card to see the rest of it. I fail to see how this is a problem.

I don't think the well-paid engineers and business executives who produce the device are communists, but I think the Chinese government could certainly have an invisible hand in their production just as our government may have a hand in the production of our devices.
