I think what some don't realize is that iOS has always allowed you to use virtual memory to use more memory than available ram using mmap() or NSData. Further the limit was 5GB of address space--not memory. So mmap() wouldn't help. It would simply fail when you ran out of address space. This is very different than not having enough memory to keep, say, your dataset resident.

Speaking of going back to work, I'm not a fan of the new AI layout.  At least on a laptop, everything is just so BIG.  And unnecessarily move-y.  And why does every story have to have an endless footer with all the other stories?  What's wrong with the good old back button to get back to the list of stories.  I'm sure we'll get used to it, but I'm not a fan at this time.

I'm a long time lurker on AI but this redesigned site prompts me to post. First, we seemed to have lost one feature I really found useful--the font size nudgers. As someone with poor vision I found these very useful to increase the size of body text without having to pinch and pan all over the place. Second, the excess story motion while scrolling makes me nauseous. I have to look away while scrolling which as you may expect makes it hard to use the site. Third, the jerky header motion on the initial scroll is very disconcerting. That's now how a latched header should behave. I hope you attend to these things as I really enjoy this site and would hate to leave it for good.
