Eric The new Android update has turned my once speedy Nexus 7 (gen 1) into a slow piece of brick. Material design is pretty awful too, looks unfinished, needless animations and all round slow. There's even a noticeable lag when unlocking the device, changing a song takes a second to trigger. Seriously what has Google done!? Awful.

Simon Janes A rant related to this I think. lobste.rs/s/kiq75p... My opinion on Material design is kind of mixed, I have a gut feeling that nearly all animations in computing are unnecessary--you should be able to glance at a display and understand it, and not be forced to watch the screen's behavior to understand it. Data can move, interface shouldn't.

Eric Spot on.
