Is success or contribution measured by your salary? This is only fair if we can all stop drinking beverages delivered to our offices.
better late than never i guess.

not so impressed by this april fools. =(
Question I would ask: How would you feel if Google acquired Feedly tomorrow?
Reason I ask: Google scrapped Notebook (http://www.google.com/googlenotebook/faq.html) a while back, and has now released Google Keep. To me, this is a tear down and rebranding. I can't speak to the reason of it, but I would guess Google Keep already has more users than Notebook did. I can't speak for Google, but I certainly know their goal is not to lose 500k users to Feedly. My guess being, they likely want to take the smoothest, but also cheapest, way out of a product that they can no longer maintain.
While I think this is an interesting point, at the same time, it looks like it may have been more difficult technically and brand-wise for google to migrate notebook to drive (which I think is the goal). It probably made more sense for them to discontinue notebook, which had a relatively small userbase, and relaunch it as a new product/brand under the drive suite.
Lets (for a moment) agree that we can achieve 99% of UX via common sense.
The question I would ask is: Would you make the same argument for Typography? (I know, seems completely unrelated)
Typography, we can say, is just making text readable, organized, and appealing. We can all read some info about kerning, leading, and spacing, and their common ratios. Then, pick up a 'modern' typeface and that would then bring us to 99% of making a new webapp/site beautiful in terms of type?
Agreed. Original article is a dismissal of the amount of research and consideration that goes into UX.
=( too bad this is iBook exclusive. Andrew Kim's work is always top notch.
