I hate articles with headlines like this. “Now what?”. Well, I’m gonna keep on shitting, I don’t really care what either company chooses to do
god, I hate the way TechCrunch is rendering on my phone.

Responsive design was a neat idea, but has failed in the context of the modern web and tech industry.
That’s not responsive design’s fault. When done properly, it works great. Too many sites just implement it poorly and insist on the CVS receipt layout even on mobile (e.g. recursive CVS receipts). Gotta cram those margins full of ads, ya know?
It seems like you don’t understand what responsive design is.
