Love the concept, well done.

I was slightly annoyed at the dog puzzle, while i tried to rotate the boxes which contained just grass and a lot of bokeh. I guess picking the right pictures is really important.

From their play store description:

"Best of all: No upsells, no in-app purchases, and free for life. Website owners pay us to make your Internet faster so you don’t have to."

That sounds totally against net neutrality to me. Unless website owners are not getting preferential speed up.

But that defeats the Conginitive Dissonance side of the things. If the offer is available daily (or even weekly), then the employee can just quit the very day (or next week) he feels crappy about his job.

Right, or did I miss something?

the goto style. you can escape goto by the following trick:

  do
  {
  if (!do_something( bar )) {
                break;
        }
        if (!init_stuff( bar )) {
                break;
        }
        if (!prepare_stuff( bar )) {
                break;
        }
        return do_the_thing( bar );
  }while(0);
  return 0;

from as little coding experience i have i can say that I have seen blazingly fast V1.0 of applications which doomed to sluggish responses because of poor maintenance. So, i really don't buy the speed thing. I'll always design with a note that "There will be no awesome-coders to maintain this". A well-maintained version of Java app will beat a struggling C app anyday. So, i differ. And, ofcourse if you know what you are doing, these graphs do make sense and its worth an effort to dig out the flipping bits on registers.
