Please, tell me where to find these mobile web apps that are superior to their native iOS counterparts.

Is it not?

This is some impressive work, but at the end of the day it's just another unecessary attempt to reinvent the wheel, a wheel that will always lag behind the original. The time he spent reverse engineering UITableView could have been spent doing useful things with actual UITableViews.

Web apps are hacks.

No, it's less shiny than the predecessor, which was actually graphically "shiny," in that it's a flat gray and only rarely appears.
Re:The Death of the Scrollbar on Thursday May 05, 2011 @11:01AM (#2517616)
There is the option to base scroll bar appearance on your input device.
Re:The Death of the Scrollbar on Thursday May 05, 2011 @10:59AM (#2517602)
Mac OS X Lion also has the option to revert the scrolling direction to the old behavior.
Re:The Death of the Scrollbar on Thursday May 05, 2011 @10:59AM (#2517600)
No.
Re:The Death of the Scrollbar on Thursday May 05, 2011 @10:58AM (#2517594)
No. With the keyboard, use the End key. With the mouse or trackpad, flick up quickly. Exponentially more efficient than dragging a scrollbar or clicking at the end of the scroll gutter.
Re:The Death of the Scrollbar on Thursday May 05, 2011 @10:56AM (#2517584)
Mac OS X Lion, like iOS, flashes the scroll bars when the view loads, so you have that information from the beginning.
Re:The Death of the Scrollbar on Thursday May 05, 2011 @10:54AM (#2517571)
In Mac OS X Lion, you can reveal the scrollbar by mousing over to the right gutter area, and you can drag it as you would a normal scrollbar. There is also the option to have them always appear. But by Fitt's law that's an exponentially less efficient way to navigate through a document. How many people actually use scrollbars that way?
