RedReader: A Better Way To Browse Reddit [Android]

Posted: 20 Jun 2013 03:30 PM PDT

redreader-300
Reddit's the best time sink on the web, with a community surrounding just about any topic (including some hilarious specific things) and a culture that helps spread and spawn some of the web's best humor. Its interface, however, is famously terrible – especially on finicky phones. Try a fast Reddit Android client that looks great, doesn't include ads and is open source to boot. RedReader is an up-and-coming app that's quickly adding features, and it just might be the best Reddit experience out there for Android users.

apple-products-that-didnt-make-it

Office Desk
When I grew up, my mom was self-employed and had her own home office with a large desk in the basement. Meanwhile my dad, who had a regular job, turned the broom closet into a tiny office for himself. It was the highlight of every house tour. Dad eventually joined the basement office, but the broom closet with its small corner desk remains the place where my parents store their paperwork until this day.
