The web browser was just another application five years ago. A useful app, no doubt, but it played second fiddle to operating systems and productivity software. That’s no longer the case.

Weird: I saw the aftermath of this landslide yesterday morning around 9:15, but couldn't see that it was blocking the connectors on the other side. I figured it had happened in the last few days, not half an hour earlier!
