Nestle is a truly horrible company[1], this hook-up has really re-enforced the notion in my eyes that Google is now just another big multi-national corp in the same vein as the rest. It&#x27;s sad, because I used to think they could show the world that a big corp didn&#x27;t have to do things that way. I&#x27;m not sure if they changed or if I was just naive.<p>[1] <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nestl%C3%A9#Controversy_and_criticism" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Nestl%C3%A9#Controversy_and_cri...</a>

Pretty. But do there exist web browsers that display these scroll-to-animate sites correctly? Using either mousewheel or dragging the scrollbar (or worse still, dragging on an iPad), it&#x27;s never anything but choppy choppiness and I miss important bits of text as they scroll past entirely between the little click stops on my mouse wheel.<p>Surely it must be possible to actually view these sites, as evidenced by the fact that people keep building them. Is there some web-designer-and-executive-approver-specific build of Chrome that&#x27;s built specifically for this effect?

Adding to my history when I _scroll_ is just a terrible decision.

Anyone noticed how funny it is? Even if it&#x27;s not perfectly coded? God you guys know how to complain!

I still prefer regular scrolling to &quot;parallax scrolling.&quot; Maybe I&#x27;m just getting old...

It&#x27;s the standard change-background-while-scrolling website that seems to become fashionable. Am I missing something about this post?

Off topic, but did they get an engineer to write the content? &quot;Thanks to its world-renowned, tri-core, wafer thin CPU with full chocolate coverage.&quot; If this is intentional sarcasm it is tasteless (pun intended)

No wireless. Less space than a Nomad. Lame.

So kitkat bought the new android OS release name for themselves, and released a coordinated marketing campaign. Is there any insider story on how that happened somewhere?. Maybe is a bit too early for that.

Nice looking site. But why associate your product with junk food?

KitKat just re-defined what a &quot;tablet&quot; means for me.

Ugh, read the small print section. Horrible, designed by committee to attempt to sound like their audience. I sometimes find these quite revealing, although irritating. It shows how they perceive the people they are targeting with a product. In this case we are flighty, feckless, caught up in a culture full of meaningless catch phrases. They have mistaken the irreverence and playfulness of the y,z gen for low brow incoherence.

No GPU? Not worth buying if I can&#x27;t play Crysis on it.

Oh no, does that mean that meta keywords are relevant for Google search again?<p>&lt;meta name=&quot;keywords&quot; content=&quot;Kit Kat, Kit, Kat, ....&quot; &#x2F;&gt;

Those KitKats are not as tasty as they used to be, but the video at the bottom of the page is really awesome.

One question I have is why Google (If this website is Google&#x27;s) is hosting their stuff on Amazon?

Actually, this was just fun to see, didn&#x27;t expected this when i navigated to their site :P

Nice page. I wish I didn&#x27;t need to hit the back button as many times as I did to escape.
arxpoeticaover 11 years ago
I don&#x27;t think there&#x27;s nearly enough under the hood. This site needs more code.

#GrannyEyed. I&#x27;m sure I&#x27;ve heard that before somewhere on the inner net.

Wow. Just wow. It feels like it&#x27;s my birthday, except it&#x27;s not.<p>(My birthday is April 1st.)

I think along with Tesla&#x27;s marketing - this is one of the top, ever.

I hope this is not going to be a trend because I find it ridiculous.

i am utterly amazed. 124 comments for a fucking advertisement site? What&#x27;s wrong with this society? And worst, it doesn&#x27;t work with lynx.
