(I don&amp;#x27;t have great internet at home.) It drives me crazy, because then I have to back up and wait for the page to reload again.&lt;p&gt;Another tip for helping people with slow internet: don&amp;#x27;t break your article into multiple pages! I think the primary reason for doing this to get more ad traffic, but I promise I will leave when I see that your list of ten items is separated into ten pages.</text></comment>

With retina assets (and the fact they still have non-retina screens), it&amp;#x27;s not crufty looking anymore.&lt;p&gt;Problem is many apps have universal binaries now so you can&amp;#x27;t force the lower-res (larger touch target) UIs.</text></comment>
