It's a bit simplistic and hyperbolic, don't you think @bobknight33.
Life - like cooking - is more complex than it seems

Google's Buzz sucked. So they developed something new that worked -- g+.
Apple's Newton sucked. So they developed something new that worked -- ipad.
Why people demand to get rid of the government when something goes wrong?

I'm sure schools run by local communities would work well in most cases. But then there would be another problems: comparability of degrees, curriculum (e.g. Creationism vs. Evolutionism etc.)

What kind of bizarre universe are those people from? She's beautiful!

PS: My iPad sometimes does that same distortion shit when recording videos. It's really frustrating.

It's a fair criticism. FTR, we have three different mobile optimised versions of the site. There is a tablet sized one, suitable for viewing on a portrait iPad that is almost indistinguishable from the full site. Then there are two smaller version that are made for landscape and portrait versions of phones. I think those are the ones you are talking about.

I agree that there is a hell of a lot of vertical scrolling involved to get to the bottom of the page for the phone versions - we supposed that's the price to pay to wanting to display all of the site content (not a restricted subset) on a phone. Maybe we could have been smarter about progressively displaying information - but as you can probably guess, we didn't put quite as much focus on those two phone versions as we did the primary UI. Although mobile traffic proportion is growing, we're seeing it more on tablets than phone sized devices. Less than 4% of our traffic comes in at a screen resolution small enough to trigger the super-compact UI version. You could make the argument that if the UI was better that number would be higher - maybe.

I also agree that we should have the option to allow the non-mobile optimised version to be displayed like before. Give us some time on that one.

..yeah, but in Supermarket Sweep, they loaded up on frozen turkeys instead of ipads.

Yes, the UPS guys was bad, yadda yadda...but what, you expected an iPad delivery, and actually thought that people would be professional/honest enough that you could not be at your house and something like this would not happen?!?

Not sure if I'm allowed to post here as well - but I love the way things look on my iPad mini. Comments look super-clean.

iPhone is a single column, but should be functional from the drop down menu on the top. Let me know how you go. I'd love to get more feedback on that. The iPad/tablet version is pretty darn good IMHO.

iPhone. haven't tried it on iPad yet

Love the responsive design.

This comment posting UI is phenomenal.

You're right. I'm digging the dark UI. (The texture might be a bit strong for my tastes, though.)

Overall, really like the updates! (Gonna go try it on my iPad and iPhone now!)

When you say iOS, do you mean iPhone or iPad? iPhone is pretty minimal, in a single column - but iPad is full-featured.

Nothing bothers me more than going to read a news article from "The West BumFart Times" on my iPad - and getting a pop-up begging me to download their app.

One of what I presume is many reason reasons not to read The West BumFart Times.

It's coming. When I say "this week" it might be on the tail-end. >> ^Sarzy:

So, where's this so-called update? When are we going to get to the fireworks factory??


I totally agree. Nothing bothers me more than going to read a news article from "The West BumFart Times" on my iPad - and getting a pop-up begging me to download their app.

The compromise has been to make the Web version act responsively, to show a mobile-optimised site.
There's really no reason VS needs an app; a mobile site is perfectly fine. Making apps is quite fashionable nowadays, but it's still a bad idea for something like viewing a website.
It's also convenient that both iOS and Android use essentially the same browser. Even if there were standards compliance problems, they'd both probably be broken in the same way.

I hear this is an iPad 6 prototype.
