Not trying to nitpick here, but does anyone find it strange that a webpage/website like this doesn’t have a graph of the data, but just a poorly designed table?

Is this a trend I’ve missed … some sort of post-D3 nadir of a datavis hype curve or something where graphs are a cringey thing SEOd click bait articles or news pages do?

That hadn’t occurred to me at all (though I would have preferred blank cells to “N/A”).

But now that you mention it, it does seem a little odd.

We are really more into shopping fast than shipping perfect but we improve over time. The fact that we introduce Mac and iPad in the chart make the graph a bit misleading as it’s not a chronological order
I honestly think you should focus on shipping perfect rather than shipping “fast”.

The world has enough quantity; let’s focus on quality.
