if you really want to improve your brain during exercise, try dancing like jazz/modern/lyric/ballet/street. A nearly common characteristic of dancing people I know is that their mind is quite bright

Re:Ask HN: What are the HN apps you use in android? on Saturday June 27, 2015 @06:03AM (#9789680)
I also use hackernews in this way. My solution: bookmark this url: https://hn.algolia.com/?query=android&sort=byDate&prefix=fal...

and when you open it in Chrome-Android use the 'save to homescreen' option so that Chrome adds an icon on your homescreen, which opens the specific page

two weeks ago I received the new Lenovo x1 carbon 3rd gen, I expected a high end machine. But I got: low brightness screen, bad colour range + build flaws: the screen cover was not glued well. These flaws also appeared with other customers (search the forums).

After three days I sent it back, and today got the new macbook 13", although I don't like the brand Apple, you can't deny its quality over all the other brands.

I agree the major issue of Android is its inconsistency in navigation and multiple minor presentation flaws. Another thing that bothers me is how different apps from Google itself regurarly overlap eachother in functionality and define adhoc-ui guidelines.

Needless to say the functional aspects of the Android OS are quite impressive.
