    I was thick in the middle of covering the smartphone wars, which lasted from about 2009 - 2014 and became the impetus for driving many now-massive areas of the tech ecosystem. https://twitter.com/...

    oh and to be clear, since some appear to have reading comprehension difficulties, this is NOT a list of the Best Gadgets, this is a list of the ones that we felt were most important, even if they were bad, terrible, awful, or something actually good. The Most Impactful Gadgets

    major congrats to @jake_k for wrangling Verge staff at the height of the holiday madness for this piece. also for allowing me to insert chaos into his masterplan at the last possible minute but i couldn't let this list go without the Dyson Supersonic!!! https://www.theverge.com/.…

    this was a huge team project, but it was @jake_k's baby and the incredible Verge Art team of @billiamjoel, @alexcas_io, and @GraysonBlackmon turned around a lot of artwork in a really short time for it. also bless our copy edit team led by @KaraVerlaney

    Hours upon hours of argument around that one, but we landed on the Air as the more important model — it is still the basic form iPads are still in today
