Potential reason? It's a bloody foregone conclusion.

Yeah, but the users of the dominant smartphone demands native apps, because that's what they're used to. No matter how fancy you make your webapp, it's gonna be laggy over a slow connection, and the users will move on to some similar service that offers a native app.

Some foodstuffs company whose name I've forgotten tried to introduce yellow ketchup in my area a couple of years ago, but they failed pretty badly. I bought a bottle, and while it tasted just like the the red stuff, it just didn't look right. My 5 year old niece just flat out refused to eat it.

To be honest, I'm more fed up with the constant handwringing about them over here. I've never even heard of them outside of here, and I've never seen them in my search results.

Of course it's hype. It's not like they're hand-cranking html over there.

I'd be far more interested in a generic ssh target thingy, than support for specific peripherals.

You can't figure out what 750 * 0.15 comes to?

Sounds nice. Just too bad the contents of my NAS would cost $700 a month to keep on s3.

Big sites gets paid for just displaying ads, not just per click.

You'd think at least a hacker website would refrain from using random as a synonym of "stuff I found".

Wait, are you arguing that violent crimes are the only ones people should go to prison for? What about say, Bernie Madoff?

Use chrome. That's how all the adblockers for it works.

Well, if websites stop serving their ads via centralized servers tracking my every move across the web, I might consider not blocking them anymore (provided they're not animated and/or huge).
