I dont know what happened to TR. They seem to be getting held by technology so much that they are too lazy to write up a nice article?. You are supposed to embrace technology in an interesting way so your readers keep coming back for more. I do not see that happening. I stopped reading TR annoying articles for a long time now. I still get emails about them, thus, this is why I'm here reading replying and, it will be my last post. Either hire better people to write your articles or find another niche.
And Yes, the slideshow is annoying.
