Apologies for going off topic but, this trend of hiding the content until you scroll down is getting ridiculous. I stared at that stupid animation for 15 seconds thinking the content was to appear at some point, before realizing I was supposed to scroll down.
It's the Verge, they're one of the one worst offenders of content-hiding web gimmickry. If you haven't seen it already, check out their Apple Watch review for a thorough list of everything not to do with a web page.
I'd say they're one of the worst offenders of tech reporting.
Apparently on their Google IO podcast they complained quite a bit how one of them installed the new developer preview of Android and "none of the new features worked".
Because of course it's as though they expect the new APIs already being used out of the box in a build meant for developers to use. It's not called a "customer preview"...
