The Swiftly Tangled Web
I got around to reading the feature on ArsTechnica about how the web is going to beat native apps someday. While I feel like this is the same discussion about “next year is the year for Desktop Linux”, I am going to ignore that. I am instead going to discuss the idea “Apple doesn’t want apps to go away”.
