        Most Aussies of around my age can remember getting (or at least knowing someone else who got) a full copy of Age of Empires on a CD contained in Kellogg’s cereal. That was truly a great time.

          Generally speaking, giving javascript that much control over your browser was a security hazard.

          But also, firms used to have much larger staffs. It wasn’t just two marketing guys in a trench coat trying to tell you they were a $10B company.

          I’m pretty sure it’s specifically the battery life of mobile devices that’s the issue.
