Oh my god yes.

Exactly what I was going to say. And you can't bring the menu to the bottom in thumb area to drag up because that would also be bad UX. Looks clever, but overall not an improvement.

On Windows, nothing beats Fireworks for UI design and prototyping, its simple in that it has just enough features to let you accomplish what you need (unlike photoshop) and cohesive in how it let's you accomplish things.

I wouldn't go that far... But that's just me.

And yet, The Verge is still not responsive. It's seriously becoming annoying at this point with them releasing awesome sites and beautiful projects, all responsive, but their flagship site hasn't been updated to a responsive design.

I think the design is trying to be meta, people are fanboys about their platform. Each user is greeted with his current (likely favorite) platform.

God, that red and that icon. I always saw some real potential in using both of those to make something really clean and beautiful.

I love how they used progressive reduction and gradients for managing user attention. Well done.

The whole experience of using the app is pretty interesting, a companion that lives in the device is an idea nobody seems to have taken advantage of when this seems like the perfect platform for it to be done on. It's designed by the guys that built the Clear app.
