For an organization so deeply ingrained with technology, the American Physical Society has some surprising issues. For example, as I type this, I'm downloading the complete program to the March Meeting at the blazing pace of 5 kB/s, and that's not limited by my connection. For another example, once again the APS has released a mobile app that contains the whole program and is supposed to be searchable. Unfortunately, the user interface on the app (at least the ipad version) is dreadful, unintuitive, and creepingly slow. Geez.
