  • It was strange being there at the dawn of time, to see Google utterly displace Yahoo.

    We were on conenctions barely faster than dial up and Yahoo’s homepage was a complete clusterfuck of everything you didn’t care about. Weather for somewhere else, celebrity “news”, sports in another country. And all you wanted to do was look up a way to run some very dangerous unchecked SQL in PHP.

    Google was just search. Nothing else. And it was so fast. You could have that potential SQL injection so much faster there.

    And the sad thing is with phones and browsers defaulting to it, and even the word “googling” (I don’t remember ever Yahooing anything), it’s probably here to stay with it’s terrible addiction to ads and AI. Won’t be long before I’m served glue at a pizzeria.











  • No vibration is a strange choice given that Nintendo and Sony went out of their way to make that much better in recent years.

    Lack of trackpad is more understandable. Sony have had that for two generations now, and I’ve never really seen it used as anything other than a big Select button. I bounced off the Steam Controller simply because games designed for controllers feel much better with thumbsticks. If I want to play a mouse controlled game like Civ, I will use a mouse. Even from my sofa.
