heyheyheyon Swype VP confirms talks with Apple on revolutionary keyboard technology

Yes, it's still relevant.

It was a big deal when SwiftKey and Android 4.2 implemented its own version of "Swype" and both promoted it. I've used all three KBs and prefer Swype because it's the most accurate for me.

Not being available in Play store doesn't mean you can't get it. You just go to their website, sign for the beta, then you download the apk. ANYONE could do this.

Yes, you are correct about "Macro" and "Micro" being antonyms but they are used differently here.

He's talking about a style of play. Generally, "macro" play is going to for the long-game with many bases and huge armies. He calls the opposite of this as "rush." Other synonyms for "rush" are something like "timing attack" or "all-in."
