"A lot of the work went into optimizing the windowing system. In fact, we redesigned the windowing system, the way that we manage multiple apps on iPad, to give us that scalability across different apps with multiple windows to bring that scalability to the entire iPad product line," said Marineau-Mes.
Managing multiple windows, essentially, on-screen multitasking, is no small feat, either, especially once you go below the surface and start addressing system resources on a platform originally designed to do one thing at a time.

For years, I had been building what technologists and lifehackers call a “second brain.” The premise: capture everything, forget nothing. Store your thinking in a networked archive so vast and recursive it can answer questions before you know to ask them. It promises clarity. Control. Mental leverage.

Instead of accelerating my thinking, it began to replace it. Instead of aiding memory, it froze my curiosity into static categories.
