Most the time, I feel that changes Google make are absolutely arbitrary, rounding a button and then squaring it again, but I need to give them credit that there is something more, something about staying at the forefront of GUIs. It's still all bullshit of course, the old one looks older but is identically useful. permalink fedilink source parent
